Farmers Look for Common Ground with Consumers at Incredible Food Show

Incredible Food Show

CommonGround, a joint consumer outreach program of the Kentucky Corn Growers Association and the Kentucky Soybean Board, recently sponsored and attended the Incredible Food Show in Lexington. With a few thousand visitors, the event provided a greater opportunity for public discussions about farming and modern food production. Our Kentucky volunteers successfully led a learning session about food marketing tactics and food concerns for an engaged audience. KyCGA Communications Director Jennifer Elwell moderated the panel.

KyCGA would like to thank Carrie Stenger Devine, Ashley Reding, Denise Jones and Julie Fritsch for their participation. Brent Burchett with the Kentucky Soybean Board and Kentucky Livestock Coalition is also to be praised for his assistance.
