For those of you who are Kansas residents or operate elsewhere but feed cattle in Kansas, this information is critical for you. A bill is ready for a conference vote very soon in the Kansas legislature that could bolster your ability to participate in branded beef programs and alliances. We received the information below plus response options from the Kansas Livestock Association Wednesday morning, April 3:
Please contact your [Kansas] Senator and Representative and ask for a yes vote on the SB 124 Conference Report.
The Kansas Legislature likely will vote on the conference report for SB 124 in the next 24 hours. SB 124 reforms the Kansas Restraint of Trade Act to correct a 2012 Kansas Supreme Court decision. The decision jeopardizes the legality of alternative marketing arrangements and forward contracts used by beef industry participants.

Let me know if you have any questions. If you would prefer to call your legislator, you can find phone numbers at www.kslegislature.org or call the KLA office (785-273-5115) and we’ll help you.
Thanks for your help.
