19 Jul KDA to hold Hearing on Proposed Grain Warehouse Regulations
Kansas Grain and Feed Association (KGFA), jointly with the Kansas Cooperative Council, has submitted comments to Kansas Dept. of Agriculture in advance of a July 22, 2022 public hearing to consider adoption of proposed regulations governing the administration of the Kansas Grain Warehouse Law.
Staff members from KGFA will be present in-person at the scheduled 1:00 p.m., public hearing to address any questions or concerns.
The hearing will be held in person at the Kansas Department of Agriculture at 1320 Research Park Dr. in Manhattan, as well as via video conferencing system.
KDA is proposing new regulations, amendments to existing regulations, and the revocation of some existing regulations related to grain warehouses in Kansas. These changes are proposed in order to implement the recent changes to the schedule of public warehouse license fees set out in K.S.A. 34-228, as well as to implement current industry policies and practices and to provide more detailed guidance for grain warehouse requirements.
A copy of the proposed regulations, as well as an expanded notice of public hearing, may be accessed on the KDA website at agriculture.ks.gov/PublicComment.
