The Work of the Fine Art of Joe Bonomo

Joe Bonomo is a well-known equine artist and a regular fixture during the spring and fall meets at Keeneland.

“God gives everyone a talent to use.”

It has been the practice of the Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) News to adorn the cover with scenic farm scenes and farm people from throughout the state. However, in 2024, the magazine had the honor of featuring the work of fine artist Joe Bonomo on the cover for the second time. His talents first graced the cover last May with his historic rendition of “The Patriot”.

His most current painting contribution for the November/December edition features “Farm Santa” enjoying his favorite magazine as KFB welcomes the Christmas season.

KFB News Editor Tim Thornberry said having such a gifted artist lend his talents to the magazine cover has been a great honor.

"As with most magazines, the cover serves as a way to invite readers in to enjoy the publication's contents," he said. "The first cover Joe provided for KFB News proved to be one of our most viewed editions online, and we feel certain the same will be true for our Christmas edition. It should be a real collector's item for our many members, and we can't thank Joe enough for sharing his beautiful artwork with us."

During a recent taping of the KFB News podcast, Bonomo shared his thoughts on his art and how much it means to him.

"I started at a very young age growing up in a big city on the East Coast where my father gave me some great advice saying how much he enjoyed my art and thought it was something I should pursue," he said. “However, he also told me if I really wanted to make a living, I needed to work in a field that would be more consistent."  

That advice led Bonomo to his first career as an electrician, something he said worked out well for him and supported him in starting a family and paying the bills, but his love of art never left him.

“I'm a Christian man, and I know that God has given me gifts for a reason,” he said. “What it comes down to is if I'm given a talent like art, I'm accountable to use that talent to share God's grace and glory with the rest of the world. I think when people look at my art, they see enthusiasm and a connection with the human existence.”

Bonomo recounts earlier years of learning the art skills he uses today.

‘When I first learned to paint as an adult, my instructor, who was an unknown artist but a great teacher and mentor, showed me the importance of being able to see correctly. Often times we go through our day, taking for granted the visual information that is right in front of us. We recognize what we think should be there and ignore the way objects actually appear,” he said. “I went to him specifically to learn how to paint, and it took a year, if not longer, before he would even allow me to put a paintbrush in my hand. And the reason for that is that he saw the importance of teaching me how to see over how to paint.”

Bonomo added that by teaching him how to see, he learned how to sculpt, draw, mold, paint,  and use pastels, all of which are interchangeable as long his eye is in tune with what visual information is coming to him.

But “seeing” is just a part of what goes into his work.

“Secondly would be a knowledge of the artistic tools and what those tools will do for me; what are the limitations of different mediums.”  And then, I guess from my religious side, is a joy of seeing what is unique and what makes everything individual, with its own emotional content," he said. “The plight of American culture nowadays is that people are pessimistic. They don't see the good in things generally but in Kentucky, people are mostly good, wanting to experience the good things in life. I hope that my art, whether it was the last painting that I did for Farm Bureau or the next one, they see things that make them feel good about where they are and what they're doing, and why. That's my focus.”

As an artist, Bonomo is always looking for new forms of inspiration, and subject matters that really spark his interest. His equine art is a testament to one of those inspirations.

“I was always a portrait artist, so, in moving to Kentucky, I was thinking, I needed to paint more equine sporting events,” he said. “To be quite honest, I was fearful of it. There are a lot of people out there who paint horses very well and I was afraid my horses were going to look more like big dogs!”

That has been far from reality as Bonomo has become a well-known equine artist and a regular fixture during the spring and fall meets at Keeneland.

“Keeneland has a rich history of embracing the arts and it’s a great place to experience the better side of nature, both human and equine” he said. “There are a lot of artists and photographers who fixate on the finish line or winners circle, but I go for the less noticed, the barn area, the people who work in the industry and I get their sense about what they're doing as they're doing it, which is a story unto itself.”

Bonomo emphasized that as younger artist, he would always train himself to paint from life as to capture an essence of what he was looking for and maybe refine it in the studio.

“But as I get older, especially in equine sports, I primarily work off of photographs because you just can't have a horse stand still long enough to get everything that you need to get down,” he said. “So, photographs have helped me quite a bit, and by doing that, it has made me a better photographer.”

While Bonomo works towards the completions of his artwork in order to make it project the message he intends, he sometimes ends up with a work that is different from when he first envisioned it.

“We call those wonderful surprises,” he said. “I trained with an artist in Montana at one time, and she would relate to this as the willingness to let go a little bit. Don't be so manufactured that everything has to be accounted for by your pre-notion of what the end is going to be. In the freedom of art, be unpredictable in your art.  Don’t be timid. Be willing to use a broad, very verbose stroke that might be better than the one that you're trying to protect.”

No matter his subject, be it horses, people, or the wonderful covers he has graciously allowed KFB News to use, Bonomo uses the gifts he has been given to inspire and encourage others to look for their gifts in life.

“I truly believe that God gives everyone a talent to use,” he said. “You may not have found it yet or it may not even be in art. It might be music. It might be the way you speak, the way you are able to motivate other people, whatever it is, everyone does have that talent.” 

President's Column | The Value of Our County Farm Bureaus is Immeasurable

KFB President Eddie Melton

The value of our county Farm Bureaus is immeasurable

As we approach the last few weeks of 2024, to say it has been a busy year on and off the farm is quite an understatement. From an advocacy perspective, Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) has been busier than ever working with our local, state, and national lawmakers to move our agricultural industry forward by way of the priorities that begin with our county leaders throughout the state.

As a grassroots organization founded more than a century ago, the value of our county Farm Bureaus is immeasurable. Thanks to their continued support, KFB has established a solid foundation with a presence in all 120 counties.

From an insurance perspective, no other company can say that.  We are unique in that no matter what community you call home—be it in the most rural of areas to the largest metropolitan cities, you will find KFB there providing protection and support to our members.

My involvement in Farm Bureau began as a young farmer over 40 years ago. Throughout that time, I have witnessed the advocacy efforts this organization makes on behalf of our agriculture and insurance industries.

Those efforts include working with our government leaders at all levels to ensure rules, regulations, and laws that are proposed and/or passed will be beneficial to this organization and our membership of more than 480,000.

I often say that being a part of KFB is like being a part of one big family. I think that is another thing that makes us so unique. Our meetings and conferences held throughout the year have a close-knit family feel to them.

And like any family, we don’t always agree on everything, but we do work together to reach a common solution and ultimately achieve our goals.

Since taking the helm as KFB President nearly one year ago, I have had the privilege of working with so many dedicated leaders from a variety of organizations in our beloved commonwealth and across the country.

One thing that helps to ensure the success we have at KFB is the relationships we have built at a national level. When federal farm policy is being discussed, we have enjoyed a place in those discussions and have been a leader in guiding policy to benefit all farm families and our rural way of life.

One particular program we began earlier this year is called the Kentucky Farmland Transition Initiative. As we have seen continual losses in farmland over the last few decades, we must continually look for ways to address the loss of Kentucky farmland and the decline in Kentucky farmers.

We have had great support for this initiative and look forward to continuing our efforts to ensure a new generation has every opportunity to continue a farming tradition that, quite frankly, none of us can do without.

As we prepare for the KFB annual meeting, we look forward to seeing our members from across the state gather to help adopt policy that will lead us for the coming year and into the future.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support of KFB and may you all have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Eddie Melton, President
Kentucky Farm Bureau

LilyBud Farm Market | Carrying on a Family Tradition

Lily Roadcap of LilyBud Farm in Shelby County.

Shelby County farmer taking "local food" to new heights.

Lily Roadcap has called her family’s farm home for her entire life  having grown up in this small Shelby County community. As such, the fourth-generation farmer has always known she wanted to do something related to agriculture having grown up on a farm that began as a dairy and is now a predominantly cattle and hay operation.

“My family started out raising Ayrshire dairy cattle and now we have a couple of beef cattle herds and hay while still keeping some dairy cows that we show. We also raised tobacco at one time,” she said. “So, the farm has always been a part of my life, and I always knew agriculture was my passion.”.

But the family also has quite a history in the roadside market produce sales with 19-year-old Lily taking years, yes years, of experience in this sector to the next level and keeping a farming tradition alive.

“When I was 13 and wanting a job to have a little extra spending money, not a lot of places would hire someone that young, so I began a roadside market,” she said. “My mom and her brothers used to sell produce at a roadside stand when they were in their teenage years, and she came up with the idea of me starting a garden and selling the extra produce myself. And each year it just kept getting bigger and bigger.”

For a farm family already experienced in selling their produce directly to consumers, the idea of this came somewhat naturally to Lily. From the crop growing to the produce-selling, she has embraced this side of the ag business and is taking it to a new level.

What used to be the old dairy barn on the farm has been many things over the years, but Lily decided it would make a great indoor market and allow her to grow her farm market to include her home-grown produce and much more.

“I'm actually a third-generation member of our family to have a business in this building, including Masters Equipment Company, which was operated by my grandpa Bobby Masters after the dairy went out," she said. "And through the years, it's been other things and had sat empty for a decade until I bought it from a family member last January and spent the winter getting it ready for the market which opened in April."

Lily said she has always had her eye on the structure and knew this would be the place in which she wanted to expand her business.

“It's exciting to host a business in the same building that my family members did,” she said. “It means a lot to be able to keep the history alive in here. It makes me feel kind of happy that people are shocked that a 19-year-old could run this kind of business.”

The name of “LilyBud” Farm Market is actually the one Lily and her brother use when showing their dairy cows.

“I knew that name already had a bit of a following so we thought it would be a good name for the market,” she said.

The local food perspective

As the old saying about location, location, location being the key ingredient in real estate sales, Lily has found that keeping the business close to the home farm is key to getting the freshest produce to her market.

“During the growing season, most all the produce in the market comes from our farm which is a hop-skip-and jump away, and what we don't raise ourselves, we get supplied from in Shelby County or as close as we possibly can,” she said. “I'm very fortunate to have some nice neighbors who let me use some of their property for gardening, as well.”

Some of the produce grown on the farm includes a large variety of tomatoes, from heirlooms to canning tomatoes, green beans, peppers, sunflowers for cut flower bouquets, turnips, kale, and pumpkins.

"We also sell beef, lamb, and sausage from the farm and we get jams and jellies from the Jam House in Scottsville, Kentucky and chicken salad, pimento cheese, and Benedictine which is made by Cottage Cafe in Middletown, Kentucky,” Lily said.

She said it's important to her to have local foods whether they are from her farm, surrounding operations, or other parts of the state.

“Everything in the market is from this state and I plan to stay open all year and will get produce from farms farther south in the winter months," she said. "There are not many places like this market in our small community, so we are glad to be a part of it. The summer was very busy, and I didn’t expect that, but it has been great and we are excited about it.”

Of course, a busy market needs a lot of help and most of Lily’s help is homegrown, too, including members of her family.

“My family is really pleased with the business that I've grown, and they're also very proud,” she said. “None of it would be possible without them, from getting the picking done and getting it into the store and the planting and all that, it's not a one-person show, that's for sure, and they really are a big help.”

Plans for the future

This young agricultural entrepreneur is certainly not resting on the success she has seen so far but rather planning for growth in the future, something she has done since beginning this venture as a 13-year-old.

“I already have a greenhouse that was gifted to me by a family in Simpsonville, Kentucky and I see a high tunnel in the future, and I hope to keep expanding each year,” she said. “I have a whole back half of the building that is just used for storage right now, but I hope to eventually add a commercial kitchen and do soups, salads, and sandwiches with our products and other local farmer's products and have a little café.”

The future looks bright for Lily and the market, and she gives credit not only to her family but organizations in which she participated in growing up.

“I was very active in 4-H and FFA in school and I’m still involved in my community's 4-H,” she said. “I spend lots of time educating younger children, especially. I always promote these programs and I certainly would not be here without them.”

LilyBud has also become one of the newest members of Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Market Program.

The Farm Bureau is really good about promoting businesses like mine through that program, and I think that's wonderful,” she said.  I’m using my Facebook platform and posting what we do on our farm to give people a real insight of the work that goes into it.”

As time has changed on the farm over the years, Lily Roadcap is doing all she can to keep the tradition going taking what she has learned from her family to new heights with her LilyBud Farm Market. But there are still reminders of the farm ‘s past heritage.

“I use our old tobacco setter to plant nearly every crop I have,” she said.

Some things never go out of style.

Candid Conversation | Agriculture Education

Candid Conversation presents a discussion about the topical issues related to Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) priorities, the agricultural industry, and rural communities, in a question-and-answer format. In this special edition, Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman and Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell discuss a new initiative that would include agriculture education at the elementary school level. The following is an excerpt taken from a recent KFB News podcast.

KFB: Would you tell us about this new collaboration and how it began?

Lt. Governor Coleman: From my perspective as the Lieutenant Governor, we've really been working on the idea of improving, expanding, and creating space for more ag education and thinking through how we can do that. We know that the number of farmers we have in Kentucky is going down and my question was how we can expand and broaden that base of people who have access to information and education that might lead them into this field.

As someone who grew up in a small town on a farm, it was a foreign concept to me that some students had never experienced the farm, and something that was not a part of their life. So, we wanted to think about ways we might be able to reach students and actually bring them into the fold. That's really been our mission, thinking through how we can make this possible.

There are just so many things that you can weave into this that would also be a big help to our teachers and our education system in creating more hands-on activities and more real-life experiences.

Commissioner Shell: Education is the great equalizer no matter where you come from, and it helps bring people to a level where they can succeed and gives them an opportunity. What we're trying to build here is beyond structural education, to being lifelong learners, and trying to set these students up for success. We've gone beyond not knowing where your food comes from to not even being able to recognize what these animals are.

When the Lt. Governor reached out sometime in early January to me and wanted to have a meeting, I tried to come up with actionable items of ways that we could work together. I had three main things that I wanted to talk to her about education and agriculture. The first one was on our mobile science activity centers of how to improve those and make those better. The second thing was how we better collaborate with the Department of Education through her office in order to help get more education grants for ag education through the department, particularly around sensory issues and kids that have special needs for those mobile science activity centers. And the last thing was something that she had been working on, that I didn't know about, was around ag education and trying to get more of that into elementary schools.

So, we set up a meeting with Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher and it went great, and everyone bought into the idea.

KFB: What is the importance of ag education, not only for the students but the teachers, as well?

Lt. Governor Coleman: When I think about elementary kids, the earlier you get students interested in something and aware of their surroundings, the better it's going to be in the long run. But I also think about how much this will support our elementary schools from a curriculum standpoint. They're all looking at project-based learning and how to infuse some cross-curricular topics together to knock out a bunch of standards and to be able to cover a lot of ground. Ag education is an amazing way to do that.

We may have some elementary school teachers who were in FFA or who went through agriculture programs, but they're not certified to teach ag education the way that our high school teachers are. So being able to help them with ideas, with ways that they can innovate by providing resources and some guidelines and things like that, teachers will love that. They're always looking for new ideas and ways to do things better, and by helping elementary school teachers who may not have a background in ag education think about their own subject matter differently, now their students are going to think about it differently too. This is not another requirement. This is not another mandate. This is an opportunity. This is where people can pick and choose. And really, we're helping to provide these resources and opportunities so that teachers can make it what they want it to be.

Commissioner Shell: We visited a school recently (and visited with a) teacher who had put together her own materials and she created a lesson plan for herself. She didn't have help from anyone. She was teaching about lettuce. The class made sweet potato quesadillas and salsa from things that they had grown in their garden at the school, and she had created this whole content herself and was working through that.

What we want to do is to help provide those resources where, instead of her having to take an entire weekend away from her family, figuring out how to put this together, she can go to a website, or go online, and be able to get that content to use in the school to where it's laid out in a very professional way, the way that the rest of their curriculum would be.

KFB: Are you hoping that this initiative plants an idea for the students to keep as they grow whether they want to be on the farm or not?

Lt. Governor Coleman:  Yes. When I taught high school, I taught government and would partner with the biology teachers, and ag science teachers, where we came up with a project, and then in my class we would work on ag policy. And we figured out how to bring it to life. There's just so much crossover, you don't have to live on a 200-acre farm to be a farmer and to understand just the basics of nutrition and being a good tenant of the earth. All of those skills are areas our students will benefit from, whether they go into something that might lead them directly into agriculture or not.

It’s about broadening that base and opening this door so that our students understand where their food comes from, and how all of these things work so If they choose to go into an ag field, that's great because they probably wouldn't have had access to that knowledge beforehand.

And if they don't, just understanding and having that realization about how it all comes together, I don't think there's a better subject for our students to be able to do that with than in agriculture education.

Commissioner Shell: Absolutely. The thing that we need to help people realize is that you don't have to be a farmer to be in agriculture. It's not just plows, cows, and sows. There are so many opportunities in agriculture beyond what it used to be and everything that you do. There's not a degree that I can think of that you can go to in college and not utilize that for agriculture. We need ag attorneys, we need ag doctors, we need rural healthcare providers that specialize to help our farmers out. We need ag marketers, we need ag communicators, we need ag newscasters, we need ag everything.

What we are hopeful for is to help students realize, as they go through the process, K-5 and then beyond, that everything has to do with agriculture and there's a place for you and you are needed in agriculture.

KFB: We're very fortunate to live in a state where agriculture is a very bipartisan subject, and that really has to be a great advantage to you as we begin this initiative, and we get further into it knowing that you've got support from both sides of the aisle for this.

Lt. Governor Coleman: When it comes to both agriculture and education, those are and should be, and should remain nonpartisan issues, not even bipartisan, nonpartisan. I think about the opportunity that this provides us to come to the table and find areas where we agree and build relationships in places where there may not have been. Which may allow us to come together to work on something else down the road. And it is one of those opportunities that opens the door for us as adults working in state government to be able to be an example.

I think a lot of folks look at government and politics and they see it as maybe a requirement to pick winners and losers, and that should never be what we're doing. We should all be looking at yes and answers and coming together to figure out how to solve problems. And when it comes to agriculture, Kentucky's economy absolutely depends upon it. And I've always said the future of Kentucky's economy is in our classrooms today. So what better crossroad for us to come together on than something like this.

Commissioner Shell: I think this is what people expect out of government. Elections are one thing, you have to pick sides, but when the elections are over, this is when you come together and do the work on behalf of the people. You can have disagreements on certain policies that you're passionate about, but there are issues that you need to come together on, and education and agriculture like the Lieutenant Governor said, are exactly two of the issues. And I'm very, very grateful for how gracious she has been in this process. I can’t see how this initiative would fail at this point. It's going to happen and it's going to be something special that I think we're going to see longevity for the future.

Alex and Sarah Richardson of Meade County Named KFB 2024 Outstanding Young Farm Family

Alex and Sarah Richardson of Meade County were named the 2024 Kentucky Farm Bureau Outstanding Young Farm Family.

LOUISVILLE, KY (Nov. 7, 2024) – Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) today announced that Alex and Sarah Richardson of Meade County have been selected as its Outstanding Young Farm Family for 2024. They will be presented with the award during the organization’s annual meeting in December.  

The annual KFB Outstanding Young Farm Family award recognizes an individual or couple under the age of 35 who demonstrates strong farm management skills, active involvement in both KFB and their community, and consistent financial growth through their farm. 

The Richardson both have deep roots in their local farming community. Sarah Richardson is a fourth-generation Meade countian who grew up on her family farm and returned home after earning her bachelor’s degree in business to run her family’s independent retail lumber/hardware business, where she still works as assistant manager. 

Alex Richardson grew up on his family’s multigenerational farm, which was founded in 1809. He returned to his hometown of Brandenburg after college to work in banking and farm part time, then decided to return to the family farm full time in 2015. Now, he said, “I cannot imagine doing anything else but farm; it is in my DNA.”

The Richardsons’ farming operations started with 15 acres of alfalfa, 10 feeder calves and five cows about 17 years ago. Since then, it has grown to include nearly 3,000 acres of corn and soybeans, 650 acres of wheat and 250 head of beef cattle. “I have been able to gradually grow our operation,” said Alex Richardson. “I didn’t want to grow exponentially too quickly. I wanted to make sure I could respectfully maintain what I had.”

Seeing a need to ensure another local farm stays in active production, the Richardsons entered into a partnership with a neighboring farmer in 2022 who was nearing retirement but did not have a successor. When the elder farmer retires, the Richardsons will add 1,000 acres to their operation.

Alex Richardson is responsible for all management decisions related to the couple’s farm, including input purchases, commodities marketing, labor management, crop rotation, breeding and more. A true partner, Sarah Richardson handles the majority of the farm’s accounting and fiscal management, assists with human resources, and handles other duties as needed. 

One of the reasons the Richardsons’ farm has grown and thrived has been their focus on efficiency and creative solutions to maximize their yield, diversify their income sources and control expenses. Their future plans include continued strategic growth to ensure the farm will be sustainable for the next generation. “We strive to find more ways to diversify our operation so that it will remain viable even during unforeseen events such as market downturns, droughts, disease outbreaks and more,” said Alex Richardson.

Ultimately, the Richardsons’ greatest ambition is to do their part to help secure the legacy of agriculture production. “We believe education is absolutely vital for the American farmer to continue to be able to feed the world,” said Alex Richardson. “We are passionate about letting the world know how hard farmers work and what it takes to create a safe and abundant food supply.”

The Richardsons will be recognized at the KFB Annual Meeting in Louisville in December. They will represent Kentucky in the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Young Farmers & Ranchers Achievement Award contest held during the 2025 AFBF Annual Convention in San Antonio, TX in January.
