Extension
The extension efforts of the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering are an important component of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, linking our programs to the people of Kentucky and beyond. BAE's extension programs are designed to support the educational needs of Kentucky's farm and home community by supplying the results of past and present research, extension information and online educational programs presented in a variety of multimedia formats.
