Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences
Major Program: Grain Crops
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
To support the Grain and Forage Center of Excellence, the Kentucky Corn Growers Association developed the UKAg Benefactor Program, which allows people to become lifetime members of the Corn Growers and simultaneously donate to the Grain and Forage Center of Excellence. As of this writing, that program has generated over $160,000 in donations, representing over 100 growers, crop consultants, county extension agents and other friends. This support is an example of trusted relationships built on years of working together to improve corn production and farming families in Kentucky.
