KS AGRICULTURE FUN
Known as the "Sunflower State" and also as the "Wheat State," Kansas is known as an agricultural center. Harvesting is seen all around. Kansas RV parks can be a part of your plans for your agri-tourism experience.
Wheat: Kansas farmers plant 10 million acres of wheat each year!
Plan your camping trip in late June or early July to see the custom harvesters bringing in the wheat.
Sunflowers: Farmers plant over 170,000 acres of these beauties. Whether you're camping near a sunflower field, or you see their majestic glory as you drive the highways, August is a stunning time in Kansas.
Corn: Although not the largest producer of corn, Kansas dedicates over 3 million acres to corn.
Cotton: Could your Kansas camping trip provide the opportunity to see cotton fields? Although most don't think of Kansas for cotton, you'll find cotton fields in the southern part of our state.
Soybean: 2.8 million acres, definitely a proud amount! Camping in Kansas gives you so much opportunity to see the raw product before it makes its way onto the store shelves.
And there's more: sorghum (milo), cotton, and more. Our land is our pride.
If crop acreage isn't amazing enough, how about 6.65 million head of cattle and calves on our Kansas farms and ranches!
