Johnson County Farm Bureau hosted a Farm to Table Legislative Dinner last week at Bowlin Farms, bringing local elected officials together for an evening on the farm.

We were honored to welcome 21 legislators who joined us for a delicious dinner featuring locally grown food and an opportunity to connect with the people who help feed our communities.

Conversations covered a wide range of topics important to Johnson County and agriculture, from strengthening our local agriculture economy to increasing the number of large-animal veterinarians in our area.

We are grateful for the opportunity to bring agriculture and local leadership together around the table. These conversations help build understanding, strengthen relationships, and keep agriculture at the forefront of important community discussions.

A special thank you to Bowlin Farms for hosting us and helping make the evening such a success!

We found a stray bull in southern Johnson County and are looking for its owner. If you are missing a bull and believe it may be yours, please call JCSO Dispatch at 913-782-0720. Be prepared to provide information that the Sheriff’s Office and/or the Kansas Department of Agriculture can use to verify ownership.

Thank you Ryan Gamboa KSHB 41 for being the keynote speaker at our county annual meeting last night!

It all hit home when you said,
“Because if agriculture doesn’t tell its story, someone else will.

I’d much rather hear it from you.

I’ll keep showing up.

I hope you’ll keep telling me where to go.”

We had so much fun sponsoring the Johnson County Fair Pedal Pull last night! 🚜

More than 120 kids, ages 4–12, participated in the event, making for an evening full of smiles, friendly competition, and family fun. Participants enjoyed popsicles and prizes, while the top three in each age division took home banners.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make it such a fun event for all!
