Former KS Atty General Derek Schmidt

(KNZA)--Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt will visit Brown, Doniphan and Nemaha Counties Monday, April 4th as part of an agricultural industry listening tour he plans to conduct throughout the state this spring.

That morning Schmidt will visit J-Six Farms in Seneca and Ag Partners Coop in Hiawatha. Then in the afternoon, he will visit Gieger Cattle near Troy.

Schmidt says agriculture is the state's largest industry and it's important to hear from Kansas producers about the legal and regulatory issues they are facing.

The Kansas Republican serves as a member of the agriculture committee for the National Association of Attorneys General. During his time as attorney general, Schmidt has worked to protect Kansas agriculture by fighting against harmful federal regulations, including water regulations and labor rules. As a former member of the Kansas Senate, Schmidt previously served as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
