The Kansas Ag Research and Technology Association is an organization of innovative people including farmers, researchers and industry persons who share a common desire to learn more about production agriculture. The group was organized in May 2000.

KARTA is the premier resource for providing information about agricultural technologies and on-farm research. Originally known as KARA (Kansas Ag Research Association), a new name and logo was adopted in 2012 to more closely reflect the focus on technology and to uniquely identify the organization in Kansas.

KARTA is a non-profit organization and is governed by a Board of Directors whose members represent the producers, Kansas State University and the agricultural industries in Kansas. The by-laws outline the structure of the organization.
