Discussing Sustainability with the Kentucky Distilleries Association

Author: Chad Lee

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Kentucky Distillery Association has a leadership group comprised of members from various distilleries across Kentucky. For their sustainability meeting, they asked me to speak about what practices are farmers are doing towards sustainability. I was able to discuss practices such no-tillage, reduced tillage, crop rotations, and the challenges farmers face each year. This was a second cohort. We are working through the Beam Institute with the distilleries and producers to help each explain sustainability to interested partners. We think our conversations will help develop a better understand and closer relationship between growers and distilleries.
