• Provide 2 service programs:– Soil testing– Seed testing

• Basic role is to serve in consumer protection and provide service.

• Also provide research based education to manufacturers, retailers, and consumers regarding issues related to each of the regulatory and services programs.

• 1/3 of our budget comes from the state and 2/3 is from inspection and service fees.

• Offices and laboratory facilities located in the Bruce Poundstone Building in UK’s campus in Lexington, KY.– Have an additional soils laboratory located at UK Research and

Education Center in Princeton, KY.

What is Regulatory Services? (continued)

• April 13, 1886 Melville Amasa Scovell, Director of Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station worked with the Kentucky General Assembly to pass “An Act to regulate the sale of fertilizers in this Commonwealth, and to protect the agriculturalist in the purchase and use of the same”.– This bill placed the Director of the Experiment Station in full administrative charge

of fertilizer control work.– The bill required fertilizer manufacturers to submit a yearly sample to the

Experiment Station, and label their products according to the laboratory analysis.– The fertilizer manufacturers were charged $15 for the analysis, but in turn received

a “certificate” indicating the product was “true and complete” • Labels were also sold to the manufacturrers for $1 per 100.

– Created the first revenue source for the Experiment Station independent of the general fund.

• This regulatory ability gained Scovell and the Experiment Station a statewide reputation for honesty and integrity.

• Growing statewide confidence in the Experiment Station led to acceptance of research results and recommendations.

History of Regulatory Services

• 1898 revised fertilizer law required manufactures guarantee products themselves and to report tonnage.– Fees would be paid for labels based on tonnage reporting.– All sample results would be published annually.– Inspectors were hired to collect samples from around the state.– This increased revenue for the Experiment Station as well as increasing confidence

of farmers in the Experiment Station.– Surplus finances from regulatory fees allowed Experiment Station to purchase land

and expand in 1900.

• 1898 Scovell and General Assemby pass a “Pure Food Law” and start to sample and test food products for adulteration.– Special attention was given to milk sampling and testing.

• 1904 KY General Assembly passes bill regulating the sale of pasture seed in KY and give regulatory task to the Experiment Station.– 1932 Kentucky Seed Law was passed to regulate all agricultural seed.

• 1906 KY Millers Association and Scovell passed feed regulation law and regulatory task was given to the Experiment Station.– Required all feed to be registered and licensed.– Required proper and truthful labeling.– Required tonnage fees to be paid.

History of Regulatory Services (continued)

• Dr. Darrell Johnson– Executive Director

• Stephen McMurry– Fertilizer & Seed Program Coordinator

• Dr. Alan Harrison– Feed & Milk Program Coordinator

• Dr. Frank Sikora– Director of Laboratories and Soils Programs
