Outcome: Initial Outcome
Several younger farmers were extremely interested in setting up grain bins for storage. The young farmer C.O.R.E. program through the KY Corn Growers organized a tour of grain bins from central KY to western KY. Dr. Sam McNeil and I attended. At every stop, farmers learned about what worked and what could be improved at each location. At one point, one of the younger farmers called back home and had a crew adjust the amount of concrete he was ordering for a new bin. Other farmers reached back out to the hosts to compare notes, etc. This is a short-term outcome that will take about 10 years to see full developments.
