developing Kentuckyโ€™s Agriculture Workforce

The future of Kentuckyโ€™s agriculture lies in the hands of its people โ€“ an eclectic, knowledgeable, and inspired workforce. A vibrant blend of traditional wisdom and contemporary insights is essential for propelling the stateโ€™s rich agricultural legacy forward.

Itโ€™s not just about cultivating crops โ€“ itโ€™s about cultivating a future. The future of our state, our environment, and our community depends on it. Together, letโ€™s foster a workforce thatโ€™s as rich and diverse as the Kentucky soil itself.
