The new Franklin County property would be used by the KSU Agronomy research program for corn and rye trials, as well as Animal Science research on goat and cattle production. The forested properties in Grayson, Warren, Laurel, and Jackson Counties would be used by the KSU Forestry and the Water Quality Programs for research projects on forestry management, water quality, and invasive species control, as well as agroforestry experiments. These properties will all be used by faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students in our Master of Science in Environmental Studies Program and Agriculture, Food, and Environment undergraduate degree program to conduct long-term projects, including using drones and remote sensing techniques, in examining the impact of climate change, issues with invasive plants, examination of insects, micro-invertebrates, and other organisms in water quality, agroforestry, pawpaw diversity, forest management, entomology, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and apiculture. These lands will support the entire KSU USDA 2021-2025 Plan of Work (POW) by assisting in all critical issues areas for research on pages 6-8 in the POW.",

These funds are restricted in use to support agricultural and forestry research and extension activities; each federal research grant must be expended within two years. Dr. Kirk Pomper, the Director of Land Grant Programs and Dean of the College of Agriculture, Community, and the Sciences, serves as the Principal Investigator for these funds. Due to a number of reasons, the KSU Land Grant Program has not fully expended FY21 USDA Federal Evans Allen Research funds over the last year and a half. This has been due to issues with COVID-19 limiting travel and hiring, change-over of administrative personnel delaying hiring and purchasing, limited purchasing and account staffing, supply chain issues, and significant increases in appropriations from Congress in USDA Federal Evans Allen Research funds and the required state matching funds, over the last several years. Therefore, the KSU Land Grant Program has this unique opportunity to utilize these research funds to purchase lands to expand the research programs as described above. We are requesting to utilize USDA Research Grant funds not to exceed the amount of $2,311,200 for the purchase of properties for this project. Purchases of the properties would also be subject to"
