Sedgwick County Farm Service Agency in Wichita

Tiffany Blank is the County Executive Director for the Sedgwick County Farm Service Agency in Wichita.  She was born and raised in Yoder/Haven, KS and attended Haven High School and Kansas State University.  She worked for the Kingman County Farm Service Agency in Kingman, KS as a Program Technician for 16½ years before she entered the training program to be a County Executive Director.  She trained in Harvey and Sedgwick County.  After she graduated from the training program, she was selected and started her new role as CED on June 4, 2023.  She has been in this position for almost a year now.  She has 4 program technicians that help carry out various programs in their office and complete the day-to-day tasks to ensure their producers (farmers) meet eligibility for farm programs and disaster programs.

Tiffany and her husband, Nick, have lived in Murdock, KS in Kingman County for the last 23 years with their two children: a daughter, Cassidy, who is a senior at Kansas State University, graduating in May 2024 and getting married in November 2024, and a son, Payton, who is a freshman at Pratt Community College.
