Groundbreaking for Grain and Forage Center of Excellence

Author: Chad Lee

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

For about five years, we have been discussing options and plans to expand research, teaching and extension capabilities at the Research and Education Center in Princeton, KY. During the spring of 2018, we held our groundbreaking ceremony for that expansion. We successfully received a $15 million grant from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board and are receiving other donations as well. That award was reported in the research grants area, but numerous years of extension activities with various stakeholders across Kentucky gave us the credibility to receive this grant and the trust from the Ag Development Board. The groundbreaking ceremony is an intermediate outcome.
