The Logan County Chamber of Commerce's Agriculture Appreciation Breakfast will be tomorrow, Jan. 27, starting at 7 a.m.
To say we are excited about our upcoming Annual Agriculture Appreciation Breakfast is an understatement. First, there is food. Great food that will fill your belly on a cold January morn (that is, assuming it is cold since this winter who can tell if we need parkas or Bermuda shorts from day to day?).
Then, there is a great opportunity to gather together and network with the leaders in the Logan County Agriculture and Agribusiness community.
Most of all, though, you want to be at our annual breakfast for one big, important reason — Warren Beeler, who it seems is now an even bigger deal than we thought he was and we thought he was a big deal to start with!
Beeler, just last Friday, was named as the Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Agriculture Policy. Beeler has worked for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture for the past 16 years, most recently as Director of Agriculture Policy.
“Warren is a respected agricultural leader known throughout the Commonwealth, and I am excited to have him as executive director of our office of agricultural policy,” Gov. Matt Bevin said in a press release. “The Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund is critical to the Commonwealth’s agriculture and rural economic development, and we are excited to have Warren leading this effort.”
The release also noted that Beeler is a graduate of Western Kentucky University and lives in Caneyville with his wife, DeeDee.
Beeler has also served as the state Director of Livestock Marketing, Director of the Shows and Fairs Division, and Livestock Marketing Specialist. Before joining the state Department of Agriculture, he served as an Agriculture Extension Specialist at the University of Kentucky where he helped develop the first on-farm testing program for swine in Kentucky.
Director Beeler will be speaking about “The Future of Kentucky Agriculture,” and you don’t want to miss it.
Also, the Logan County Cattlemen’s Association will be cooking steaks and The Colonial Inn will be providing the eggs and other fixins. Just typing that sentence makes me hungry!
Come join us on Jan. 27.
