Near South Haven, Kansas, Kanokla member Luke Theurer is showing how agriculture and technology are coming together in powerful ways. What started as a cattle nutrition trial has become a great example of how reliable rural broadband is helping drive the future of smart agriculture. Luke was approached by Lallemand Animal Nutrition to test a product called Levucell, a dry yeast supplement designed to help cattle digest forage more efficiently and pull more nutrients from the

In addition to expanding broadband infrastructure, Kanokla is investing directly in our communities—laying down pre-development infrastructure that attracts new housing, supports workforce growth, and strengthens the future of our towns. Kanokla recently announced the creation of the Kanokla Forever Fund, a community development initiative designed to strengthen the vitality, competitiveness, and economic ecosystem of the communities we serve. At its core, the goal is simple:

One of the most meaningful parts of my role as Kanokla’s Community Engagement and Events Coordinator is finding ways to support the students, families, and schools across the rural communities we serve. This winter and spring, I have had the opportunity to help bring Think Before You Post: The Power of Social Media to nearly a dozen schools throughout south central Kansas and northern Oklahoma. The impact has been incredible to witness firsthand. Chet Kuplen, Founder and CEO

Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time for one of our favorite traditions — Kanokla’s Easter Egg Hunts! We’re excited to welcome families from across our communities to celebrate the season with fun, laughter, and lots of colorful eggs.

Reliable broadband is essential to the community because it links homes, schools, farms, and businesses to opportunity. Physical spaces are just as important. They carry history, create belonging, a

Being present in our communities is part of who we are. Over the past two months, our employees have been busy volunteering, celebrating, and connecting with our neighbors—whether it was helping out at summer youth programs, joining in on career days, taking part in Fall Fests, walking in local parades, or welcoming a State Representative for a tour. We’re proud to live, work, and give back in the same places we serve!

This summer’s Kanokla Tech Camp gave 50 students from grades 5–9 another hands-on experience exploring the world of technology. Our team designed Tech Camp to inspire curiosity and confidence, and featured a variety of interactive stations that let kids dive into the creative and mechanical sides of tech. At the AI Creativity Station, students collaborated with our Design Studio team, utilizing artificial intelligence to design their own posters and notebooks, learning how te

Kanokla has been part of South Haven since 1954, and through the years, we’ve become more than just the local telecommunications provider. We love showing up for community events, lending a hand, and finding ways to give back. The new mural is just another way we’re celebrating our pride in South Haven and the people who make it home. Just west of Highway 81, a bright mural now covers the east side of the Kanokla Central Offices building, greeting everyone who passes through
