Welcome to the forum. I don't have an answer for you, maybe someone that is versed in Kansas regulations will chime in. Every state is different (I think).

If you haven't done so already, I'd stop at your counties NRCS office and talk to them. It's a part of the USDA, and they usually have an office in just about every county in every state. If not, then there is an office in the next county over that also services your county.
