Outcome: Initial Outcome
Through the James B Beam Institute, I tought 40 hours of grain crops management and grain quality to employees of James B. Beam Company. These employees were all working in the new Booker distillery. I introduced the cohort to at least four farmers from Kentucky and with help from JBBI personnel, we videoed corn growth and development over time, grain handling and some other activities as well. They are asking for another course. The apprentices in the cohort retained some basic crop management and grain quality information quite well. This course was extremely helpful to me in working with people who do not farm but are interested in grains. It changes how I will communicate with non-Ag groups.
