Join us at the Kansas Seed and Crops Conference, hosted by the Kansas Crop Improvement Association, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan, KS, on February 17-18, 2026.
The conference is the site of seed company associate meetings, the annual business meetings of the Kansas Crop Improvement Association (KCIA) and the Kansas Seed Industry Association, meals, and a trade show. It is a great opportunity to keep in touch and up to date with your friends and associates in the seed industry.
The main session is a panel discussion of “Wheat from A to Z” and is set for 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on February 17. The panel will have representatives from six stages of wheat production: breeding, farm production, co-op elevator operations, marketing and supply chain logistics, milling, and baking. This panel is open to the public, and we need lots of participation from farmers and seed producers to make it a success.
Also on the schedule are three sessions: Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 16) and Wednesday morning (Feb. 17). Tuesday’s session covers new processes and updates to the KCIA field, lab, and lot management dashboard. Wednesday topics include updates on the HB4 wheat trait by Tyler Benninghoven of Colorado Wheat and an update on wheat research in Kansas.
