Through the James B Beam Institute, I taught 40 hours of grain crops management and grain quality to employees of James B. Beam Company. This was the second time I taught this course. The apprentices this time had less farm experience and ranged from advanced degrees in chemical engineering to the a GED. 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. 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. I hope the long-term outcomes are that these people remember some of the efforts required to grow high quality grains.
