Author: Raul Villanueva
Planning Unit: Entomology
Major Program: Tornado Response and Recovery
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The entomology program at the UK-REC at Princeton has been working with Anthony Schiavino VP of Production at Resonate Foods since 2019. On December 13, 2022, three days after the tornado Mr. Schiavino and Villanueva met inadvertently at the entrance of the REC. There, Schiavino offered his support to the Entomology program and other UK-REC programs by providing a high tunnel that initially was used to store salvaged items rescuedfrom the tornado. Later on, in mid spring we began to grow hemp. Mr. Schiavino extended his support to other programs. Dr. Bradley’s Plant pathology Program is also making use of this facility. Free of charge. Resonate Foods is allowing UK to use water and electricity free of charge. This company is helping the revamp of the entomology program in Western KY.
