The research and Extension efforts of the UK Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) are
an important component of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, linking our programs to the people of Kentucky

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.
