Standing Together On Environmental Issues

I am proud to be a farmer in Kentucky for many reasons. I enjoy setting tobacco with the rolling Hardin County landscape in the background, and it’s a nice benefit that those rolling hills will hold moisture for my corn crop for a few extra dry days. I even enjoy the satisfaction of loading out hogs through the night. But perhaps the biggest reason I love to farm here is that Kentucky agriculture has had a long history of standing together. There are many more diversified farmers in Kentucky than single commodity farmers. So when it comes to an issue that affects one part of our industry, it affects us all. I’m the President of Kentucky Corn Growers, but I’m also active with Kentucky Pork Producers and Kentucky Farm Bureau. In the Commonwealth, we stick together because we produce so many commodities. Our hope is that happens across America as well. Read more

The Impact of Kentucky Corn

KyCGA has taken on the challenge of explaining how corn impacts our local economy. Most recently, we installed a billboard along I-75 (mile marker 121) just outside Lexington to share the good word. Many thanks to Barton Brothers farm for the use of the billboard in their corn field. Additional billboards are planned for Owensboro near US 60, near Shepherdsville on I-65 toward Louisville, and Paducah on I-24.

Did you know?: In 2010, corn cash receipts totaled $603.9 million, about 1/3 of total crop receipts. The 2011 crop—the second largest in history—was valued at $1.16 billion.
