If you're involved in Kentucky Agriculture you may feel "like a kid in a candy store" this week. Hundreds of us have arrived in Louisville to mix and mingle with our fellow farmers and volunteer leaders from all across the state. The halls and meeting rooms are full of sharing harvest stories and plans for the future. Both seasoned and fresh faces shake hands and exchange hugs all along the way. It is my favorite part of this unique experience...seeing these incredible people who share my passion for all things related to agriculture and this great organization.

This week offers opportunities to learn and update policies on nearly every aspect of our ag industry. There are commodity conferences all over the hotel as well as final rounds of competition for several young farmer and youth contests. We'll finish our week by electing leadership for the coming year. It's what we do...it's what we love!
