A new partnership has been announced between an industry-leading equipment manufacturer and Kansas State University.

Great Plains Manufacturing announced Thursday it’s signed a master agreement to begin a research and testing partnership with K-State. The two entities will collaborate to conduct research, providing students with experience and hands-on learning opportunities.

The company says it has provided agricultural equipment for use in various university research programs, part of a larger effort to expand corporate-student partnerships on campus and develop future potential job opportunities for students.

The company’s executive vice president David Disberger said “Kansas State University is well-known for its contributions to research, and this agreement will serve as a building block for our continued cooperation. We look forward to many synergies between our organizations.”
