Evan Cooper of Great Bend attended the Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) Leadership Conference in Topeka. He was among 15 producers to participate in the event, which is designed to expose attendees to services provided by KLA and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the legislative process, industry advocacy and various aspects of beef marketing. The group attended a Senate Agriculture Committee meeting and heard from KLA lobbyists on how they protect member interests during the legislative process.
