Agents in Letcher and Harlan Counties have partnered with specialists from the University of Kentucky Forestry Department to deliver research-based information to producers through online and in-person programs as part of a $200,000 USDA ACER grant. The two-part program covers the basics of maple syrup production and a more advanced look at options available to boost production and profitability in the state. The in-person segments include tours to an established maple producer utilizing advanced production options and a finale at the annual Kentucky Maple School. The program has hosted over 120 registrants and has led to further partnerships with Purdue University and KCARD.
