Ag Employee Management Conference Set For Aug. 12-13 in Oklahoma City

MANHATTAN, Kan. ˆ Kansas State University Research and Extension is teaming with Oklahoma State University to present its fourth Employee Management for Production Agriculture Conference Aug. 12-13, 2004. This year's conference will be in Oklahoma City at the Westin Hotel, to allow agricultural producers in southern areas easy access, said
conference coordinator Sarah Fogleman. Future conferences will likely rotate between northern and southern sites.

"This is perhaps the leading agricultural labor management event in the country," said Fogleman, who is the area Extension agricultural economist in southeast Kansas. "Past conferences have drawn large audiences from throughout the United States, including owners,
managers, and employees from every type of agricultural business, large and small. Representatives of everything from feedlots to swine operations to horticultural businesses to farms have participated." For more information or to register, interested persons can visit the
