Turn now to some agricultural news.

Cattle farmers are getting some help.

Tuesday, the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association broke ground on its livestock innovation Center at the University of Kentucky's See or in little research center in sales.

The center will help local producers with the industry's challenges and be a hub for research and education.

The Kentucky General Assembly gave the association $22 million for the project.

This is a project that's a long time coming.

Started off as a long range plan idea and developed with our livestock industry across Kentucky into what you kind of see today.

So this center will be an education, research, innovation, marketing value added almost a one stop shop for the livestock industry in Kentucky.

Kentucky has a long history of agriculture.

We have 74,000 small businesses, which are our farms in Kentucky.

The goal out of the livestock centers to really keep those small businesses in business, those are our farm families and to really grow with all of the advancements in technology and innovation and help those producers stay active on their own farms.

So this facility really is an outreach.

We will have a culinary center.

We do a lot of demonstrations already with chefs, dieticians.

One of our biggest audience are those health care professionals, bringing them to a farm and seeing where our food comes from so that they can help meet the needs of their community better.

Another component of this building is the Education Center, which will host conferences for students for adults to do workshops and certified trainings in this building.

Another component is private industry offices, where we can work with other industries and collaborate and get better programing.

The facility is expected to be completed and fall of 2027.
