Kansas Farm Bureau "Rural Kansas: Hope Endures" trailer

Rural Kansas is changing. Across the state, a steady stream of decline has left small towns drained and diminished.

Despite these trends, small, rural communities have the ability to find innovative and meaningful ways to heal themselves. A new Kansas Farm Bureau television documentary which aired statewide (and nationwide on RFD-TV) in the fall of 2007 tackled that notion head on and made a compelling case that these communities can reinvent themselves.

Rural Kansas: Hope Endures introduces a new way to think about rural development. One based on the fundamental notion that truly meaningful and sustainable change must emanate from within the community.
