In a post dated July 31, she wrote, "Spending the day with @KStateOlathe, learning how every step of the ag supply chain — from farm to table — impacts grocery prices. First stop: Courage Farms in Fontana! " Later that same day, she added details about her next stop: "Next stop: Just visited the chef-grade kitchen at @KStateOlathe — where small food businesses get the tools, space, and support to grow. Lower costs, local jobs, and fresh Kansas-made products? That’s the recipe for a stronger food system. "
