In transformative infrastructure to attract and retain students and build the state workforce through increased enrollment
K-State is working to realize a strategic vision for prioritized investment to build and renovate College of Agriculture facilities. These buildings will make it possible to do the following: • Increase research production • Advance agricultural technology • Recruit faculty and students • Connect K-State with corporate and governmental partners
Investing in K-State Makes a Difference
The opportunities and challenges facing agriculture are increasingly complex and this new infrastructure will enable us to strategically address both. Agriculture is Kansas’ largest economic driver, generating approximately $76 billion annually; and an investment in K-State is efficient and impactful: Each dollar invested in K-State agricultural teaching, research and extension yields a $17 return to our economy.
Agriculture is Kansas’ Largest Employer
These new facilities will enhance the growth of this state’s largest market segment. • 1 in 7 Kansans work in agriculture • 14% of the state’s workforce is in agriculture
According to a recent Kansas Department of Agriculture survey, almost a third of respondents expect the workforce to increase and plan to add new, full-time employees.
A Better K-State, a Better Kansas
New infrastructure fosters a new interdisciplinary approach to develop innovative solutions and educate and train those who will move agriculture forward—benefitting Kansas academically and economically. K-State will be positioned to attract faculty and students focused on expanding our next-generation research while also working closely with private industry. We will • develop and diversify the food and agriculture economy, • create a specialized workforce, • expand research funding, catalyze stronger public-private partnerships, enhance existing research centers, and • develop innovative production and business solutions.
Forward-Thinking Training and Talent Produce Tomorrow’s Workforce
This infrastructure, and the innovative research and forward-thinking teaching that will result from it, will only enhance the allure of attending K-State, already one of the nation’s top-ranked ag schools. A K-State College of Agriculture degree pays off in the job market: More than 97% of graduates are either employed or pursuing further education within 6 months of graduation.
Today’s Challenges Require Integrated Solutions Through Public/ Private Partnerships
These buildings will provide stateof-the-art co-location opportunities for partners who look to enhance

Kathy Danner, NE -
"My Safety Zone Calf Catcher is the best thing since sliced bread! I’ve used it through two calving seasons so far...AND I LOVE IT!!! I’m in my late sixties and do all my baby calf processing alone. No more fighting off protective mamas during processing. And I find it additionally helpful for bringing in a set of twins or a calf that’s not nursing well." Brad Eik, MT- "This is an incredible product that everyone that ranches should have on their place! We will never calve again without one. It really takes the work out of calving without the risk of being mauled!"
