The Grain & Forage Center of Excellence at the Research and Education Center in Princeton will use cutting-edge research and outreach efforts to help Kentucky grain and forage producers use sustainable, intensive production practices to better meet the needs of a growing world with minimal environmental impact.
A generation ago, farmers and citizens of Western Kentucky led the effort to create the University of Kentucky Research and Education Center and the infrastructure that houses people committed to the science of production agriculture. Those stakeholders had faith in the land-grant university system to help improve agriculture and their lives.
Today, a new generation of agricultural leaders have the same beliefs in the land-grant system but are faced with new challenges. From those leaders, the idea of the Grain & Forage Center of Excellence emerged. The center is committed to the shared core principles of university researchers and stakeholders and dedicated to answering real-world questions for generations to come.
