Meeting with Secretary Goodman

Author: Edwin Ritchey

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation

Outcome: Initial Outcome

A small group of county ANR agents, extension faculty, and college administration met with the Energy and Environment Secretary Goodman at Elizabethtown to discuss how UK and the local commodity boards provide support to Kentucky producers. This tour was arranged by the Soybean, Corn, and Small Grain Commodity Boards. We were successful in providing the evidence that UK and local extension efforts are well used and often relied on by the producers of Kentucky. Secretary Goodman left with a greater appreciation of what UK Extension is, what we do, and how we work with others to the benefit of the people of the Commonwealth.
