In this episode of Wheat’s On Your Mind, host Aaron Harries sits down with Jay Armstrong of Armstrong Farms and Dana Woodbury, executive director of the Barry Flinchbaugh Center for Ag and Food Policy, to share stories about the late Dr. Barry Flinchbaugh and the new center that carries his work forward. They revisit how Flinchbaugh’s teaching, humor, and straight talk helped shape major Kansas policies like use‑value property tax appraisal that kept farmers on the land. Dana explains how the Flinchbaugh Center is training students, convening stakeholders, and focusing on “alternatives and consequences” so policymakers hear directly from the people affected by ag policy. The conversation also digs into the Ogallala/High Plains aquifer, youth engagement in western Kansas, and the Flinchbaugh Fellows program that places K‑State students in Topeka and Washington, D.C. for real‑world policy experience.
