Agriculture is at the heart of Kentucky. It’s in the fields of corn, wheat, and soybeans, in the cattle on rolling hills, and in the bourbon aging in oak barrels. It extends beyond fields and pastures—into forests, greenhouses, research labs, and markets—driving an industry that feeds communities, supports families, and strengthens economies.
At the University of Kentucky’s Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, we stand alongside Kentucky’s farmers and producers. Through research, education, and extension, we provide the latest advancements, best practices, and a network of support to help operations of all sizes succeed.
From family farms to large-scale agribusiness, Kentucky agriculture thrives through collaboration, innovation, and commitment to the land. Together, we grow.
