Day 3 of Ag Education Week took us to Central KY! Students participated in hands-on activities in math, English, science, and more—exploring how ag connects to food, careers, and everyday life. We're excited to see more impactful learning experiences for students this week!

I was glad to join state and industry leaders at the Kentucky Capitol to discuss Kentucky’s opportunity in the growing alternative aviation fuel market. House Bill 545 would help create new opportunities for farmers by expanding markets for agricultural products, supporting farm profitability, and attracting investment while strengthening supply chains across the Commonwealth. Agriculture can play a key role in powering this emerging industry and driving rural economic growth. kychamberbottomline.com/2026/03/06/op-…

In total, that’s 12,431,190 acres of Kentucky farmland. That land supports more than 69,400 farms across the Commonwealth, producing food, fiber, fuel, and forestry products for families here and around the world.
