KyAEC Thanks Former Kentucky First Lady Libby Jones for 23 Years of Service

Mrs. Libby Jones, wife of former Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones and co-owner of Airdrie Stud in Midway, has been serving the Kentucky Agriculture and Environment in the Classroom since its incorporation in 1992. She recently, however, announced her retirement from the KyAEC Board to allow the next generation to take the lead.

Libby has been such an incredible asset to KyAEC and a true champion of agricultural literacy and protecting our agriculture land and heritage. She is a director of American Farmland Trust, Vice-Chair of Bluegrass Conservancy, and Director of the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. She is also active in soil conservation efforts statewide as a director of the P.A.C.E. Board, working to protect Kentucky's most productive farmlands in perpetuity.

In honor of Mrs. Jones service, we are developing a farmland preservation activity for members of our Agriculture Literacy Network to utilize with students.

Please help us thank Libby for her time and dedication to KyAEC these many years. Letters and cards may be addressed to Airdrie Stud, PO Box 487, Midway, KY 40347.
