Kansas Ag Director Mike Beam has been selected to lead the state’s wildfire taskforce to help producers prepare and mitigate future disasters.
He tells Brownfield there’s been an alarming increase in wildfires in the last decade. “We’ve got to at least talk about it and try to do somethings and help address those folks who are most vulnerable when we get into these types of conditions.”
Governor Laura Kelly announced the creation of the Governor’s Wildfire Taskforce on July 20.
