Economic & Policy Update E-newsletter

Economic & Policy Update E-newsletter

Economic & Policy Update

Affectionately known as the 'bluesheet' due to its history of being printed on blue paper in the 80s, the Economic & Policy Update E-newsletter is a long-standing publication in our department containing articles from our extension faculty and staff on timely, relevant topics from areas including farm management, finance, production, ag policy and trade, etc. 

Geared toward a wide range of readers, our diverse team covers commodities ranging from livestock to grain crops and forages to the economics of small fruits and vegetable production in our monthly articles. With a reach far beyond Kentucky, our extension faculty are routinely invited to present at national and international conferences and to state and national government leaders on the same topics covered EPU articles. 

Join our subscription list to receive the EPU straight in your inbox at the end of each month and be the first to have access to the most up-to-date information, new program announcements, featured extension resources, and more. Individual articles are also posted to our social media accounts each week following the latest newsletter's release date.
