Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The overall objective of this project is to develop, demonstrate and assist in the adoption of
more profitable production and marketing systems for selected horticultural crops and speciality
grains. There are many horticultural and agronomic crop opportunities for Kentucky farmers for
which a significant amount of information is available. To assist in the compilation and distribution
of this information, a physical and virtual New Crop Opportunities Center has been developed. The
primary audience for information delivered through this Center is Cooperative Extension Agents,
and ultimately, the farm family. There are many other horticultural crops for which we lack detailed
production and marketing protocols for Kentucky farming systems. There are also opportunities for
the development of specialized grains targeted for specific markets that offer a premium for desired
characteristics. A portion of the Center's funds wiII continue to be focused on applied research to
develop protocols for the profitable production and marketing of selected horticultural crops and
speciality grains.
