Vance Ehmke

farmer

Vance Ehmke is a 75-year-old farmer from Dighton, Kansas, who has been deeply involved in agriculture for most of his life. His family has been farming in the area since 1885, primarily growing certified seed wheat, rye, triticale, and grain sorghum. Ehmke is concerned about the potential impact of U.S. government policies, particularly the termination of the Food for Peace program, which has historically supported both American farmers and international humanitarian efforts. He emphasizes the importance of this program for both local farmers and those in need across the globe.
