Welcome to Marion KS WRAPS!

Farmers and Ranchers have partnered with the land, rain and sun for generations. Farmers and Ranchers trust their partnership with nature because they know that the right mix of ingredients combined with time and work will always yield results. Marion KS WRAPS works to improve the health of our watersheds and everything that contributes to them. This is a difficult task but farmers and ranchers never let the fact that something is hard stop them from getting it done. We're using education, cost-sharing and financial assistance to help farmers and ranchers do what they do best, only better!

Marion KS WRAPS will include conservation information and education for the producers of Marion County Kansas producers.
