The Kentucky Corn Growers, Kentucky Soybean Board and Kentucky Small Grain Growers organized a series of farm visits with Rebecca Goodman, Secretary of the Energy and Environment Cabinet for Governor Andy Beshear. They invited several faculty with the Grain and Forage Center of Excellence to meet with farmers and Secretary Goodman at the Hardin County Extension Office. Dean Cox's office organized a short introduction of our college and how we support agriculture and the environment. The following day, I visited the farms with the entire group. Nick Carter was able to join as well. These meetings help build understanding and relationships. I look forward to future work with them.
