Modeled after Dr. Flinchbaugh’s legendary K-State classroom, the Forum transforms complex policy topics into interactive “classes” that explore real-world challenges.  

 

The inaugural Forum, held in 2025, drew more than 200 participants from 16 states and featured 20 national recognized speakers and moderators. It quickly became one of the region’s most respected agricultural policy events, a space where students, producers, and policymakers exchange ideas with candor and respect. The Forum continues to serve as a catalyst for dialogue, bridging generations and sectors to ensure that policy decisions reflect both practical understanding and shared values.
