Farmer-Researcher Partnerships are Backbone of Agricultural Advances
Thanks to farmers who are willing to share their land for research, agriculture is advancing in fields across Kentucky. Scientists in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment engage with an extensive network of producers in all disciplines.
Solving Plant Mysteries Goal of UK Student
Growing up, University of Kentucky graduate student Cristina Castellano thought she might like to be a forensic scientist, but her interest in agriculture steered her toward plant pathology, which she terms as “the forensic scientist of the plant world.”
New Crop, Healthier Soils
Cereal rye shows promise as an alternative crop for Kentucky producers.
Food insecure? Not if Cooperative Extension has a say
UK extension agents and NEP assistants in all 120 counties have helped more than 400 organizations provide needy families with food and information for staying safe and healthy.
