About Kansas

Kansas, often referred to as the “Sunflower State,” is a landlocked state located in the heart of the United States. Known for its vast prairies, agricultural heritage, and historic landmarks, Kansas offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness.

Kansas is renowned for its expansive prairies, where endless fields of tallgrass sway in the wind. The Flint Hills region, often called the “Last Stand of the Tallgrass Prairie,” is a testament to the state’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage.

Agriculture plays a central role in Kansas’s identity. The state is a major producer of wheat, corn, soybeans, and livestock. Visitors can explore working farms and ranches to learn about the agricultural traditions that shape Kansas.
