What Is Agriculture and Natural Resources?
Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) is a program area of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Extension ANR programs are part of the outreach program of the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Departmental specialists, researchers, and county agents develop and implement ANR programs. In addition to production agriculture, a small staff of Extension Associates provides focused assistance to state and county staff on interdisciplinary and critical-need programs. These programs may deal with the interface between production agriculture and environmental stewardship. Associates also address the relationship between farmers and non-farm rural and urban citizens. Our programs make a difference in the lives of millions of Kentuckians through research-based education.
Working with our other land grant partner, Kentucky State University, we extend the resources of the University to the people in their local communities. County agents serve as the link between people in every Kentucky county and experts in the universities. They coordinate and provide educational programs for the public through meetings and workshops, field days, personal communications, and web or satellite broadcasts. Agents also provide publications, newsletters, computer programs, videos, and other educational materials.
KENTUCKY CATTLE OWNERS/MANAGERS — You are being invited to take part in a research study conducted by the University of Kentucky to gather information on pest problems and challenges affecting cattle and cattle owners in Kentucky. This will assist us in providing educational content and directing research initiatives to improve pest control and outcomes for cattle and their owners or managers. We anticipate this survey will take 10 - 15 minutes of your time.
