To His Excellency The Honorable Matt Bevin Governor of Kentucky

I herewith submit the one hundred and twenty-ninth annual report of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station for the period ending December 31, 2016. This is done in accordance with an act of Congress, approved March 2, 1887, titled “An act to establish Agricultural Experiment Stations, in connection with the Agricultural Colleges established in the several states under the provisions of an act approved July 2, 1862, and under the acts supplementary thereto,” and also the act of the Kentucky State Legislature, approved February 20, 1888, accepting the provisions of the act of Congress.

Very respectfully,

Purpose of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station

The University of Kentucky, the state’s flagship land-grant nutrition, community development, soil and water resources, institution, is responsible for serving the people of the Com- bioenergy, and the environment. monwealth of Kentucky. The College of Agriculture, with its Experiment station research spans both basic and applied research, teaching, and extension activities, has developed a sciences. The ability of Kentucky producers to be competitive structure and organization to provide the mandated land-grant in domestic and world markets requires an expanded base of services in agriculture and related areas. knowledge in emerging areas of research applicable to agricul- As the research arm of the College of Agriculture, the Ken- ture, food, and natural resources.

Statewide Research

In 2016, research activities of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station were conducted at Lexington, Princeton, Quicksand, and Owenton and in counties throughout the state. Efforts are constantly made to ensure that the research studies have application to the problems of all Kentucky farmers and other clientele groups. Locations of the experimental facilities provide conditions representative of most sections of the state.
