Louisville, KY (June 9, 2016) – Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Bluegrass & Backroads, a 30-minute television program that explores agricultural, cultural, historical and artistic stories unique to the state, has been nominated once again for an Emmy® Award. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) announced nominees for the 52nd Annual Ohio Valley Regional Emmy® Awards, giving the nod to Bluegrass & Backroads for a story in the Best Magazine Feature/Segment category.

The show’s Emmy®-nominated segment provided viewers with story of zoo dentist, Dr. Tom Clark, in Louisville, Ky.

“Kentucky is uniquely blessed to have someone so uniquely talented and willing to perform such unusual, but important work,” said Bob Shrader, Kentucky Farm Bureau’s video production coordinator.

Shrader and Matt Hilton, who make up Kentucky Farm Bureau’s two-man video production team, are responsible for writing, filming, interviewing, hosting, directing and editing each show. The duo is now busy filming the 13th season of Bluegrass & Backroads.

“Producing a show like Bluegrass & Backroads has given me a deeper appreciation for this state and its people,” said Hilton. “My goal with each segment we produce is to highlight just how special Kentucky is.”

The Ohio Valley Chapter of NATAS will unveil all the official winners of the coveted Emmy® Awards on August 6 during a black-tie event held at the Lawrenceburg Event Center in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

Including this year’s nomination, Bluegrass & Backroads has now been nominated for a total of 14 Emmy® Awards over the show’s history, and has won the prestigious award three times.

Bluegrass & Backroads is a weekly program aired on Kentucky Educational Television’s (KET) family of channels and several other network stations statewide. It is additionally seen nationally on RFD-TV through Dish Network, DirecTV and several major cable outlets.
