  Purpose of the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station

 

As a Land Grant institution, the University of Kentucky is
responsible for serving the people of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. The College of Agriculture, with its research,
teaching, and extension activities, has developed a structure
and organization to provide the mandated Land Grant ser-
vices in agriculture and related areas.

The Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station has been
providing research results to farmers and rural residents for
more than 100 years. The continued advancement of Ken-
tucky agriculture attests to the benefits of applying new knowl-
edge and technology. Much of the research leading to in-
creased quantity and improved quality of Kentucky’s agri-
cultural output was performed by the Experiment Station.
College researchers also have successfully addressed prob-
lems of agribusiness, consumers, international trade, food
processing, nutrition, community development, soil and wa-
ter resources, and the environment.

Although much Experiment Station research has immedi-
ate application to agricultural and natural resource-related
problems, scientists are also involved in basic research, gen-
erating new information to help solve present and potential
problems. The ability of Kentucky producers to be competi-
tive in domestic and world markets requires an expanded
base of knowledge in emerging areas of research applicable
to agriculture, food, and natural resources.

This Annual Report lists Experiment Station research
projects and publications completed during 1999. A faculty
list is also provided.

The research programs of the Kentucky Agricultural Ex-
periment Station have benefited Kentucky’s agriculture over
the past century, and the results of present and future re-
search will continue to serve Kentucky’s primary industry.

Statewide Research

 

Research activities of the Kentucky Agricultural Experi-
ment Station were conducted at Lexington, Princeton,
Quicksand, and Owenton and in counties throughout the
state in 1999.

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 experi-
mental facilities provide conditions representative of most
sections of the state.

Campus—Laboratories and specialized equipment for all
research program areas.

Coldstream—Maine Chance—Spindletop Farms—Beef
and dairy cattle, poultry, horses, sheep and swine, forages
and grain crops, tobacco and turf.

South Farm—Fruits and vegetables, omamentals.

UKAnimal Research Center (Woodford County)——This
farm was purchased in late 1991 as a location for develop-
ment of state-of-the-art food animal research programs. The
farm is in Phase I of development as a research facility.

At Princeton (Caldwell County) the Research and Edu-
cation Center facilities and the West Kentucky Substation
Farm are devoted to research on grain crops, beef cattle,
swine, fruits and vegetables, forages, and tobacco.

 

 

At Quicksand (Breathitt County) the Robinson Station is
the location of research on fruits and vegetables, omamentals,
forages, grain crops, tobacco, and wood utilization. Quick-
sand is also the headquarters of Robinson Forest, which
spreads over parts of Breathitt, Perry, and Knott counties and
is the site of forestry and watershed management research.

At the Eden Shale Farm, located in Owen County near
Owenton, experimental and demonstration studies are con-
ducted on forage crops, tobacco, fruits and vegetables, and
beef management.

 

  

Regulatory Services

 

The Division of Regulatory Services administers state laws
pertaining to the manufacturing, processing, labeling, and
marketing of commercial fwd, fertilizer, seed, and raw milk. Its
purpose is to protect farmers and other consumers from poor
quality, mislabeled, or misrepresented products and to pro-
tect agricultural businesses from unfair competition from those
who might take shortcuts in the quality of their products.

Feed, fertilizer, and seed are monitored in the manufactur-
ing or retail channels for reasonable and acceptable compli-
ance with state laws through label review, product and facil-
ity inspections, and product sampling and analysis. Raw milk
is monitored during marketing to assure an accurate and eq-
uitable exchange between producers and processor and to
ensure the integrity of milk from farm to processor.

Ten regulatory inspectors and one auditor cover the state,
collecting samples, inspecting facilities, and auditing records.
Additionally, a specialty-products inspector checks and
samples small-package and specialty feed, fertilizer, and seed
products throughout the state.

The Division also offers to growers and homeowners seed
testing, soil testing, poultry litter and animal manure testing,
and water and nutrient solution analyses for greenhouse pro-
duction and float-bed systems of seedling production.

Auditing Program

H.S. Spencer

Audits of sales and fee payments were made on 3 14 of 546
milk seed, feed, and fertilizer businesses in Kentucky to verify
check-off and tonnage fees. Fees assessed to help pay the
costs of inspecting, sampling. and analyzing commodities in
accordance with Kentucky laws are: fertilizer, 50 cents per
ton; feed. 35 cents per ton; and seed, 4 to 24 cents per unit.
During May, raw milk is assessed a check-off fee of 3 cents
per 100 pounds.

 

Income from fees in 1999:

Feed .................................................................... $720, 728
Fertilizer ............................................................... 631,360
Milk ........................................................................ 61. 925
Soil testing ........................................................... 168,721
Seed tags. testing, and licenses ........................... 363,661
TOTAL $1,946,395

 

These cash receivables were substantiated on 2,612 fertilizer
tonnage reports. 2.976 feed tonnage reports, 724 seed re-
ports. and 15 milk reports. These reports were checked for
accuracy and compared with field audits of the firms submit-
ting them. Additional fees of $ 16,920 were found as a result of
these audits.

Milk Regulatory Program

 

C .D. Thompson

The milk regulatory program administers the Kentucky
Creamery License Law and Regulations. The program’s pri-
mary objective is to ensure the proper payment for milk pro-
duced in Kentucky. These payments must be based on a series
of accurate weights and tests. The program provides a market-
place environment that is fair and equitable for all individuals
and firms involved in the dairy industry. In 1999, the division:
- reviewed and issued licenses to 14 milk buyers, 56 testers,

3 97 sampler-weighers, and eight raw milk transfer stations.
- analyzed and administered action on 6,757 official samples.
- analyzed 801 samples submitted by licensed testers for

comparison purposes.

- conducted 12 producer pay record audits.

- conducted 56 inspections at 15 milk laboratories.

- trained and examined 48 new sampler-weighers and 15 new
testers,

~ conducted 653 inspections of 225 sampler-weighers.

- conducted 36 inspections of raw milk transfer stations.

Feed Regulatory Program

Eli Miller

The feed regulatory program provides consumer protec-
tion for the purchasers of livestock feed and pet foods, main-
tains a marketplace environment that promotes fair and equi-
table competition for the feed industry, and helps ensure the
safety and wholesomeness of animal products as human food.
In 1999, the program:

- administered actions on 4,83 9 official samples of commer-
cial feed involving 27,994 ofiicial tests to monitor about 3
million tons of commercial mixed feed and feed ingredi-
ents distributed in Kentucky.

- administered a cooperative program with the FDA to in-
spect two feed mills that mix restricted drugs in feed and
to inspect seven feed mills for compliance with FDA’s
national BSE regulation, which prohibits the feeding of
certain mammalian proteins to cattle and other ruminants.
An additional 63 state inspections were conducted on
mills that mix non-MFA drugs in feed to ensure compli-
ance with medicated feed regulations. Fifty-three mills that
mix no drugs were inspected to ensure compliance with
labeling, manufacturing, and storage practices.

- conducted 7,500 label reviews and maintained product reg-
istration for about 15,000 products from 900 companies.

- continued implementation of the revised feed labeling re-
quirements for livestock and poultry feeds.

Fertilizer Regulatory Program

D.L. Terry

The Kentucky Fertilizer Law ensures that fertilizers sold
in Kentucky are clearly and accurately labeled so that con-
sumers can make informed purchases of fertilizer and be as-
sured of its quality. The law also protects the legitimate fertil-
izer industry from unfair competition. In 1999, the program:

' administered actions on 3,856 official and 458 unofficial
samples of fertilizer involving 13,361 tests of the approxi-
mately one million tons of fertilizer distributed in Ken-
tucky.

- reviewed labels and registered 3,714 products from 543
firms, including 214 who manufactured custom blends of
fertilizers.

- conducted two bulk-blend workshops for the fertilizer in-
dustry.

 

Inspection Program

F Herald

The inspection program aims to achieve industry compli-
ance with the consumer protection laws that the division is
charged with administering. Inspectors strategically located
throughout the state, each with an assigned area to cover,
carry out this responsibility. They inspect manufacturing
plants, processing facilities, storage warehouses, and retail
stores; collect official samples of feed, pet food, fertilizer,
milk, and seed; review records; and offer assistance to cli-
entele in improving their operations to achieve compliance
with the laws. In 1999:

- A team of nine inspectors performed 5,205 inspections of
the processing, manufacturing, and marketing of feed, fer-
tilizer, and seed. They inspected eight feed mills for compli-
ance with FDA’s regulation to prevent the establishment of
bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United
States. One inspector traveled throughout the state to in-
spect and sample small-package and specialty feed, fertil-
izer, and seed products in urban areas. Another inspector
covered the state to administer the Creamery License Law.

- Inspectors collected the following numbers of official
Samples for laboratory verification of appropriate constitu-

 

ents and quality:

Feed ......................................................................... 4,839
Fertilizer ................................................................... 3,856
Seed ......................................................................... 2,981
Milk ......................................................................... 6,757

Seed Regulatory Program

D. T Buckingham

The seed regulatory program'assures Kentucky farmers
and urban consumers of quality seed and promotes fair and
equitable competition among seed dealers and seedsmen. In
1999, the program:

- collected and tested 2,981 ofiicial seed samples.

- issued stop-sale orders on 428 official seed samples and
229 violative seed lots at seed dealer and seed processor
locations.

- cooperated with the USDA-Seed Branch regarding ship-
ments of seed into Kentucky that were in violation of the
Federal Seed Act.

- issued 237 permits to label seed and registered 373 seed
dealer locations. Performed inspections and sampling of
agricultural, lawn, turf, and garden seeds during 1,854 vis-
its to more than 600 wholesale and retail locations.

Seed Testing Services

 

E.E. Fabrizius

The seed testing program provides the seed industry and
seed growers of Kentucky with competent, reliable, and timely
analyses of their seeds for labeling requirements and quality
assurance. In 1999, the seed laboratory tested the following

number of samples:
Ofiicial seed samples (regulatory) ........................... 2,981
Regular seed samples (service) ............................... 3,551
Certified seed samples (service) ................................. 283
Tobacco seed samples (service) .............................. 1,506
TOTAL .................................................................... 8,321

In addition to routine testing for purity, germination, and
noxious weed seed, the laboratory offers testing for seed
vigor (accelerated aging and cold test), seed moisture, seed
size (seed count), and germination following fungicide appli-
cation. The laboratory also provides tests to seedsmen and
livestock farmers for the presence of the fungal endophyte in
tall fescue seed and live fescue tillers.

Soil Testing Service

 

El. Sikora (Lexington); D.L. Kirkland (UKREC, Princeton)

Soil testing provides farmers, homeowners, greenhouse op-
erators, surface-mine specialists, and others with scientific in-
formation about the fertility status of their soils. In partnership
with the Cooperative Extension Service, it also provides them
with lime and fertilizer recommendations based on soil tests. We
also offer analyses of poultry litter and animal wastes for farmers
and farm advisors, water and nutrient solution analyses to green-
house operators and float-bed seedling producers, and non-
routine soil tests for University of Kentucky researchers.

Samples analyzed in 1999 were:
Type Number % Increase
Agriculture ......................... 32,921 ............................... -4
Home lawn and garden ........ 6,133 ............................... -l
Snip-mine reclamation ................ 0 ............................ -100
