Kansas Educators

From the seed we plant to the tractors we drive, science plays a key role in corn production and agriculture in general. Kansas Corn STEM is supported by the Kansas Corn Commission, an organization of Kansas farmers who decide how corn checkoff dollars are invested in the areas of education, market development, research and promotion. Education is one of our priorities with the goal of helping teachers connect science and agriculture by providing high-quality resources and programs.
