Wildfires have ravaged Kansas, beginning on February 17th, fueled by abnormally high winds and persistent dry conditions. In anticipation of the widespread impact, Governor Laura Kelly declared a state of disaster emergency on February 15th, setting the stage for a coordinated response to the unfolding crisis. The blazes have inflicted substantial damage on the state's agricultural sector, resulting in significant livestock losses and threatening the livelihoods of numerous farmers and ranchers.
