Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

UK Grain Crops Group has found an informational sweet spot for its newly released Corn and Soybean Newsletters.  It falls somewhere between a tweet and a blog post and provides educational information and resources that aid growers and consultants in management decision. Grain Crop Extension Specialists and researchers provide timely articles that are combined into an easy to read format. The newsletters are then electronically mailed to a distribution list, Ag and Natural resource agents and are also posted on KyGRAINS.info. Finally, the newsletters are sent to our stakeholders the KY Corn Growers Association and the KY Soybean Association to share with their membership.  To date we have produced 5 issues of the Corn and Soybean Newsletters and distributed nearly 1000 copies.
