Agriculture Education Week delivers a learning experience for students, equips educators with ready-to-use lessons and fosters community involvement.
Agriculture has a nearly $50 billion impact on Kentucky. There are nearly 70,000 farms in Kentucky (7th most in the United States) that compose more than 12.4 million acres of land, making up nearly 50 percent of Kentucky’s total acreage. Kentucky is the top beef-producing state east of the Mississippi River, and 95 percent of the world’s bourbon is produced in the commonwealth.
