KDA announces bluestem pasture survey
The Kansas Department of Agriculture is seeking feedback from Kansans for the 2025 Bluestem Pasture Survey to collect information on native tallgrass pasture use and practices. The survey is administered through the K-State Land Use Survey Center and will be open through April 30.
The Bluestem Pasture Survey provides reliable, accurate information to Kansas ranchers and the agricultural community as a whole. The survey asks about native tallgrass pasture availability, leasing rates and fencing rates, and it should only take about 15 minutes to complete.
The 2025 Kansas Bluestem Pasture Survey is voluntary, anonymous and confidential. To complete the survey, visit tinyurl.com/bluestem25. If a rancher is unable to complete the survey, but wishes to participate, he can contact Leah Tsoodle, director, Land Use Survey office, at LTsoodle@ksu.edu or Heather Johnson, KDA economist, at 785-564-6726 or Heather.C.Johnson@ks.gov to receive a written survey or to complete the survey over the telephone.
