Join us in congratulating the winners of the second round of the Bluegrass AgTech Development Corp Challenge Grant! 🎉
Today, at our global headquarters in Kentucky, we were proud to introduce the recipients of the 2025 Bluegrass AgTech Challenge Grant alongside our valued partners: the City of Lexington, Ky - Government, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and the UK Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
2025 Challenge Grant winners:
🌽 Kanbol Inc. is advancing Kentucky agriculture’s circular economy by transforming corn stover, a byproduct of corn production, into compostable food containers. Using patented technology, Kanbol creates sustainable alternatives to plastic packaging while opening a new value stream for farmers.
👷♂️ Orb Technologies is reimagining construction with its Biomie bio-composite block, a multifunctional building material made from straw and grass crops. These materials replace high-carbon construction inputs while providing new income opportunities for Kentucky farmers who supply biomass.
👩🌾 Santerre International is developing a zero-waste process that converts invasive carp into fertilizer products for use by organic producers. These products address a critical barrier for Kentucky’s organic farms which often lack affordable, consistent access to quality soil amendments.
Bluegrass AgTech Development Corp is building an innovation ecosystem for entrepreneurs and startups in the agriculture sector. These outstanding winners will help advance our shared mission to position Kentucky as the agricultural technology capital of the United States.
For centuries, stories have been humanity’s most powerful tool for connection. From gathering around fires to raising a glass of Town Branch® Bourbon, we’ve used storytelling to share knowledge, inspire change and bring people together.
In agriculture, our challenge isn’t a lack of facts — it’s making those facts resonate. That’s why we created World Without Cows. Rather than reacting defensively to criticism, we chose action — leading the conversation with compelling, science-backed storytelling. By weaving together the voices of farmers, scientists and even critics, the film sparks thoughtful discussions about the cow’s role in nourishing our planet.
The response has been extraordinary. In just one year, we’ve shared this film in 32 countries, across 12 film festivals, policy forums, industry events and — most recently — under the stars at Chaney's Dairy Barn right here in Kentucky. One thing has become clear: people are craving balanced, informed conversations about where their food comes from.
And it’s not just being seen — it’s being heard. In its first year, World Without Cows has already earned recognition:
🏆 1 win and 2 nominations for Best Documentary
🥇 “Outstanding Excellence” Award
🥈 Silver Telly Award
Science explains why storytelling works. Neuroscience shows that when we engage with a narrative, our brains mirror the storyteller’s — a process called neural coupling. This synchrony deepens comprehension, builds empathy and improves memory retention. And as studies in the Journal of Neuroscience reveal, anticipating a story’s resolution even triggers dopamine, making us more likely to stay engaged and take action. (https://bit.ly/4lTTpnz)
With September bringing Bourbon Heritage Month, we’re reminded of Kentucky’s own storytelling legacy — how a simple spirit became a global cultural icon because people connected with its history, craft and meaning. Agriculture’s story deserves the same.
Numbers tell us what happened. Stories tell us why it matters.

This week, Dr.Roy Brister, strategic poultry adviser at Alltech, spoke at the 53rd Carolina Feed Industry Association Summer Convention (CFIA) in Wrightsville Beach. He presented on “Low Oligosaccharide Soybean Meal.”
The convention featured sessions on the grain and oilseed market outlook, updates from North Carolina State University and Clemson University on programs and research supporting the industry, and regulatory insights from the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and the National Grain and Feed Association.
The annual meeting brings together feed industry professionals, suppliers, educators and government agencies from across the Carolinas. It is recognized as one of the best networking opportunities of the season.
Alltech was also represented by Brendan Heinichen, territory sales manager, and we were proud to support the event as a bronze sponsor. Thank you to CFIA for hosting another impactful convention.

At the heart of Alltech is an entrepreneurial journey.
In the 1970s, our founder, Dr. Pearse Lyons, immigrated to the United States with a dream: to sustain our planet and all things living on it. As an Irish scientist, he saw an opportunity to apply his yeast fermentation expertise to animal nutrition challenges, and his dream became a reality when he founded Alltech in 1980 with just $10,000.
Today, a global team of more than 6,000 people around the world shares this vision of sustaining and nourishing the world’s plants, animals and people.
We deliver on this vision by improving plant, feed and food quality through nutrition and scientific innovation, particularly yeast-based technology. Our team is fully committed to helping plants and animals achieve their full potential while supporting producers in greater efficiency, profitability and sustainability.
Starting with the soil
At Alltech Crop Science, growth is natural with us. We provide natural-based products and solutions to agronomic and horticultural challenges facing producers across the globe, addressing the production of citrus, silage and everything in between.
Our goal is to seamlessly bridge the gap between science and sustainability. By sharing our expertise, providing constant technical support and exploring the intricacies of each region we serve, we are not only pursuing greater productivity, profitability and sustainability for every crop — we are working alongside producers and agronomists to build the future of agriculture.
Focusing on the feed…
Through our innovative study of nutrigenomics, our nutritional technologies help animals maximize the nutrients in their feed for optimal well-being and performance.
We work with producers across the globe to address the animal nutrition issues most important to them, including:
Feed efficiency
Antibiotic-free production
Food enrichment
Management of mycotoxins
Gut health
Protein
Enzymes
Minerals
...and the farm
Alltech’s support goes beyond nutrition. We partner with producers to increase their efficiency, productivity and profitability through analytical services, including:
Alltech IFM to analyze the feed ration
Alltech 37+ to quantify mycotoxin risk
Alltech E-CO2 to assess on-farm efficiency and sustainability
Food
We bring traceability, quality and improved nutrition to the table.
As a family company, we understand the consumer’s desire to ensure that their family’s meals are as safe and nutritious as possible. From our innovative use of organic minerals to our work in crop science, we focus on improving nutrient value throughout the food chain.
Our guiding principle
In all of these endeavors, we are guided by our ACE principle, our promise that in doing business we have a positive impact on the Animal, Consumer and Environment.
