The commonwealth is the largest beef producer east of the Mississippi River and our cattlemen and women who fuel this industry are a critical part of Team Kentucky. Today I was proud to have @KYCattlemen join me as I officially proclaimed May as Beef Month in Kentucky.
As we turn the page on another season on this first day of fall, a big thank you to the farmers and ranchers who work to feed our country and the world all year long. #AgStats#AutumnalEquinox

1 of 2 - My alma mater, @michiganstateu@CANRatMSU, is the original Land Grant University. Today I learned about a new first. MSU is home to the founding chapter of @MANNRS_@MANRRSMSU. Great organization and great students.
Public views farming as the most favorable industry, according to Gallop Poll. I may be biased, but I have always had a the utmost respect for producers and agribusiness. #thankafarmer https://t.co/nFNSUy8OyD
