&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;16th annual Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition awards life-changing prizes to talented young singers&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;As they say in the theater business, “The show must go on,” and that was certainly true of the 16&lt;sup&gt;th &lt;/sup&gt;annual Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition. The event, which is typically held at the Singletary Center for the Arts in Lexington, was conducted virtually for the first time this year. Talented vocalists vied for more than $700,000 in scholarships and prizes and an opportunity to attend the University of Kentucky and join the UK Opera Theatre to pursue their musical dreams. During the virtual event, the international audience was treated to performances by 24 hopeful young vocalists representing 15 states and three countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;The winners of the 2021 Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition are: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;The Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition was initiated in 2006 by the late Dr. Pearse Lyons, co-founder of Alltech, who was an avid supporter of the arts. His friendship with Dr. Everett McCorvey of the UK Opera Theatre inspired what is now one of the largest vocal scholarship competitions in the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;“Congratulations to all of the vocalists who dared to pursue their dreams at the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition today,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech and son of Dr. Pearse Lyons. “My father always carried a song with him and inspired others to do what makes their heart sing — to vigorously pursue their passion, whatever it may be. Thank you to the students and UK Opera Theatre staff who honor his memory and remind us that there are still reasons to sing and to dream.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;Finalists were scored based on their voice, technical skill, interpretation and accuracy by five judges: &lt;b&gt;Barbara Lynn Jamison&lt;/b&gt;, who&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;became Kentucky Opera’s chief artistic and executive officer in August 2018 when she was appointed as the sixth general director in the company’s 67-year history;&lt;b&gt; Dr. Thomas King&lt;/b&gt;, a tenor who has performed in five world-premiere operas and numerous recitals throughout the U.S., Germany and Austria; &lt;b&gt;Kevin Short&lt;/b&gt;, a bass-baritone who trained at the Julliard School of Music’s American Opera Center and winner of numerous competitions and awards; &lt;b&gt;Angela Brown&lt;/b&gt;, whose performances on the leading opera and symphonic stages of the world have been lauded by the The New York Times, CNN and Oprah Magazine; and &lt;b&gt;Brian Salesky&lt;/b&gt;, who served as executive and artistic director of Knoxville Opera from 2005 to 2020, leading the company through an unprecedented period of financial and artistic growth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;Since the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition began, more than 170 students have been empowered to chase their operatic ambitions and receive an education in the arts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;The competition attracts top vocal performers from around the world, helping them overcome financial barriers and paving their way to a successful career. It is credited as a driving force behind the UK Opera Theatre becoming a world-renowned program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;Competition winners have travelled the world while performing, teaching and providing inspiration to others. In Kentucky, they infuse art into the community through performances such as “A Grand Night for Singing” and the annual Alltech Celebration of Song.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;The 2021 Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition can be viewed on-demand &lt;a href="https://events.alltech.com/avsc/register#/" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:blue; text-decoration:underline"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; with complimentary access.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;If you would like to donate to the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition, &lt;a href="https://www.alltech.com/vocal" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:blue; text-decoration:underline"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Alltech launches relief effort for Australian farmers&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p class="text-align-center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Australia Farming Relief Fund will support producers impacted by bushfires&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[NICHOLASVILLE, Ky.] – Even as rain begins to fall in some parts of Australia, wildfires continue to devastate large portions of the country. The fires have already destroyed an estimated 10 million hectares, claiming 25 lives and killing wildlife and livestock. Alltech, a leading animal nutrition company, is lending its support to the country’s agriculture industry, launching a global fundraising effort for farmers and pledging to match donations dollar-for-dollar. The Australia Farming Relief Fund will provide goods and services directly to producers and will be coordinated on the ground by Alltech family companies Alltech Lienert Australia and KEENAN Australia.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The Australia Farming Relief Fund represents a coordinated effort among our Alltech family, suppliers, customers and the global agriculture industry to support the producers who feed our families and are the core of our rural communities,” said Mark Peebles, managing director of Alltech Lienert, which is located in Roseworthy, Australia. “The bushfires have been devastating, but Australians are resilient, and we are committed to rallying around our farmers as they recover from this crisis.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As farmers assess the damage, the loss of livestock is expected to exceed 100,000 animals. Producers, who were already contending with a three-year drought, are struggling to secure supplies and feed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alltech Lienert and KEENAN Australia will use their resources to distribute supplies either donated locally or purchased using donations from the Australia Farming Relief Fund. Such supplies will include hay, finished feed, feed supplements, silage, water troughs, fencing and non-perishable items. The companies will deploy their trucks and drivers to deliver supplies to producers in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland. Team members will also volunteer their time to work alongside farmers, rebuilding fences, repairing sheds and providing any on-farm support they need.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The effort will initially focus on dairies, sheep and beef farms, and apiaries. Alltech is also exploring partnerships that will offer longer-term mental health support for farmers grappling with trauma as a result of the fires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Donations to the Australia Farming Relief Fund, collected through the Pearse Lyons ACE Foundation, Alltech’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit, can be made &lt;a href="https://www.alltech.com/australia-farming-relief-fund"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="text-align-center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Ends-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Making a difference: Alltech dairy initiative in India supports children's nutritional needs</title>

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Making a difference: Alltech dairy initiative in India supports children's nutritional needs&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have the safest way to health.” – Hippocrates&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;India is the second-most populous country on the earth and is home to more than 400 million children, who account for 37 percent of the entire population of the world. Unfortunately, India is no exception to the global struggle to feed its younger generations a nutrient-dense diet. Around 73 percent of all Indian diets are protein-deficient, and the shortfall is even more alarming among vegetarians (IMRB survey, 2017).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommends a daily intake of 200–300 grams of milk for children, and many states are still striving to achieve this goal. India is a leading producer of milk, but, in many regions, elevated agricultural performance does not necessarily equate to an improved diet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of its commitment to serve people and to improve the nutritional status of children, Alltech initiated its Nutri Milk Project in November 2017, partnering with the &lt;a href="http://tribhuvandasfoundation.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Thribhuvandas Foundation&lt;/a&gt; in Anand, Gujarat, to supply milk to young students in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“It is an absolute honor to be associated with Thribhuvandas Foundation in this project,” said Dr. Aman Sayed, managing director of Alltech India and regional director of Alltech South Asia. “As a nutrition company, we feel it is our responsibility to provide practical and proven solutions to enhance the nutrition level of children, who are tomorrow’s future.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="position: relative; display: block; max-width: 100%;"&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-top: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" src="https://players.brightcove.net/844354903001/ebd995ab-5e79-4f0e-bb22-37581e210e78_default/index.html?videoId=5705967580001" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px"&gt;Alltech initiated the project in Gujarat, a mostly vegetarian state where milk is the main source of animal protein. Milk, a whole food that provides many essential nutrients, is a crucial part of the diet of growing children in this region. In the selected schools, 98.5 percent of school children can be categorized as undernourished on the body mass index (BMI) scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Five schools in the Tarapur cluster were selected for the program, as children in this region were noted to be especially malnourished. Alltech began providing 150 ml each of flavored, fortified milk every day to around 1,200 children, aged 5 to 13, as well as a weekly supplement of iron. The sole aim of this is to improve the nutritional status of these children — and, by doing so, to build a healthier India. On its journey to nourish the children of Tarapur, Alltech has delivered 1,78,754 milk pouches in the project’s first year alone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt="nutrimilk2.png" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="303" src="https://www.alltech.com/sites/default/files/nutrimilk2.png" width="538" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="background:white"&gt;&lt;span style="vertical-align:baseline"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px"&gt;Along with a 5.45-percent average improvement in the BMI of their students, the schools involved in this program have also experienced a considerable increase in attendance. These results inspired Alltech to expand the project, and in 2018, six more schools were added. Alltech plans to expand the program even further.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Childhood is a critical time in the growth and development of a person and is a key stage in the establishment of their physical and mental abilities,” said Sayed. “We are proud to see the positive impact Alltech is having on the lives of children in the program. These children are benefiting daily from Nutri Milk, not just by improving their nutrition but by increasing their attendance and education, and this is a proud moment for Alltech.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px"&gt;&lt;img alt="nutrimilk4_0.png" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="299" src="https://www.alltech.com/sites/default/files/nutrimilk4_0.png" width="532" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px"&gt;Alltech is committed to improving the health and performance of people, animals and plants around the world through natural nutrition and scientific innovation. At a global level, Alltech works extensively with local schools to build science labs and encourages students to pursue science with a greater curiosity about the world around them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every second, of every day, there are people thinking, trying, testing, flying, inspiring, and applying new ideas, with insatiable drive to guarantee a world where people, animals and plants can thrive. Together, we can build a more sustainable world.

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Sustainable Haiti Project changes the economic lives of many&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;The Haitian cities of Ouanaminthe and Dondon have turned coffee production into an opportunity to establish a sustainable economy. Since 2010, the &lt;a href="https://www.alltech.com/about/philanthropy/sustainable-haiti-project"&gt;Sustainable Haiti Project&lt;/a&gt; — developed by these communities in collaboration with Alltech — has helped bolster urban infrastructure, decreased the school dropout rate and has generally improved the quality of life for this region’s citizens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;Product export revenues from the Sustainable Haiti Project have, thus far, benefited 600 families in Dondon and helped enroll 800 children in two newly built schools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;This initiative was the brainchild of the late Alltech founder Dr. Pearse Lyons, who, following the earthquake that devastated the island nation in 2010, traveled to Haiti to help. During his visit, the Irish businessman realized that the capital city of Port-au-Prince was already home to many businesses and organizations — leading him to focus his efforts on other areas of the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;“Upon arriving in Dondon, he perceived the potential of the region,” said project coordinator Avelyne St. Hilaire. “He wanted to do a long-term project that could help people. The idea was to strengthen communities that are remote from Port-au-Prince in a sustainable way, so that children do not need to move to have a better future.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;The Sustainable Haiti Project helped improve the condition of the roads that led to local schools, which had previously been difficult to access, contributing to a high rate of dropout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;“Before, the children did not have the opportunity to study, because parents could not leave them in the schools,” St. Hilaire continued. “Today, they manage to go to their jobs and know that their children will be studying and receiving support.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;In addition to these efforts to enhance quality of life, the Sustainable Haiti Project also promotes sustainable coffee production. Coffee has historically been Haiti's main export, and, with Alltech’s support, producers in Dondon and Ouanaminthe have achieved higher crop yields — without damaging the environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;“We have done our best to set up new planting practices, thinking about the quality of light and shade for grains and looking to control diseases in a natural way,” said Cedieu Joseph, president of the cooperative. “Today, we have a biological coffee, which benefits our exports.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;The coffee produced in Dondon is recognized as high-quality and stands out as Haiti’s only organic coffee product. Sitting at more than 243 meters above sea level, the geographic location of the local coffee production makes the grains softer and gives the beans a differentiated, unique flavor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;But thanks to the efforts of the Sustainable Haiti Project, this coffee is special for more than its flavor profile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;"When people consume Café Citadelle, they are not only consuming a simple coffee,” said St. Hilaire. “They are helping people and changing their reality.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Courier New""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; font-size:12.0pt; padding:0in" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#212121"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pearselyonsace.org/"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; for more information on Alltech's philanthropic efforts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Dr. Jorge Arias and Avelyne Saint Hilaire: Sustaining Hope in Haiti &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Alltech is there, having arrived in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of 2010 to a nation in need of much more than immediate disaster relief. There was, and remains, a need for sustainable economic growth, jobs, agriculture and education. Joining Tom Martin for an update on the Alltech Sustainable Haiti Project are Dr. Jorge Arias, global director of aquaculture and country manager for Chile and Argentina at Alltech, and Avelyne Saint Hilaire, the project’s local administrator in Ouanaminthe, Haiti. Dr. Arias served as Ms. Saint Hilaire’s translator for this interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Tell us how it all began. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

That was in January 2010. We went with Dr. Lyons (Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech) and a couple of friends. We went directly to the Dominican Republic and then by helicopter to Port-au-Prince. We wanted to check on the situation there and to see what we could do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Lyons said, “What if we try to help Haiti through another region?” Through contacts and friends, we connected with people in the north of the island — in the Ouanaminthe area. People were arriving in Ouanaminthe from the critical area of Port-au-Prince. We found a school there, and that’s the beginning of the story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Could you carry on that description? How would you describe what you found? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

All the buildings had fallen down. It was terrible. We really felt the need to start helping — not just that particular crisis, but in the long term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What activity could we promote? We learned that Haiti was the first country in the Americas to produce coffee. Before Brazil, before Colombia, it was Haiti. It was also the first country to produce sugarcane. We chose coffee. Through that project, we could subsidize the rest of the activity. That was just the beginning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Did that lead to a decline in coffee production? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

When you go to the island, you find two countries: the Dominican Republic and Haiti. One was colonized by Spain, the other by France. Haiti was trying to produce food for Europe and to export to different countries and also to produce coffee and sugarcane. On the other hand, the Dominican Republic has more sustainable beef and dairy production. What’s the difference? They didn’t deforest the area. So, they are two contrasting situations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Has that been an outcome? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

The original idea was to see what we can do: We find a coffee. We import the coffee to the U.S. green, as most of the coffee trading is taking place in the form of green coffee. We roast it in Kentucky, and then we sell it. With the profits, we can sustain the project. That was the original idea. We set an example for other people to follow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Tell us how the coffee connects to children. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There was an elementary school in Ouanaminthe, and in one of our visits with Dr. Lyons, we knew there was another school (also in need of help). So, we took Dr. Lyons to see this second school. He immediately said, “Oh, we need to do something about this school also, Jorge.” That was the beginning of subsidizing and helping the other community. The students receive special education. We keep sending volunteers to teach the kids music, language, art and many activities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

And we have some parents coming every noon to enjoy good food in both schools. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We need to grow because we ran out of space where we are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We started with 150 students in Ouanaminthe. In Dondon, we had fewer than 100 kids. Right now, between the two schools, we have 652 students. There are around 500 families that receive help and this education. That’s not only helping the students at the school, but also beyond school. And the kids are receiving quality education. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We need to start from the beginning in order to change the country, and we need to start with the kids. I believe this was a real intention of Dr. Lyons’. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Turning back to you, Jorge, let’s talk about water — clean, potable water. Tell us about Alltech’s water purification efforts in Haiti. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:1.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;Jorge:                          The First Presbyterian Church in Lexington is associating with the effort that we started in 2010. They started buying the coffee first. That was the first activity. They did it for more reasons than to simply transfer the profits back to Alltech in order for us to sustain the project. They decided to use that money to go to Haiti and do some work with us. So, they have taken two or three trips to Haiti in these last few years, and one of those projects was to set up a water purification system for the whole community. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:1.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;                                       We bought a piece of land where we are setting up this purification system. We can sell the water at a reasonable price and that, in turn, will also subsidize the growth of the project and help us to build a new school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

We can decrease the influence of different diseases and we can guarantee the quality of the water we use for our kids, but also for the community. We don't know how far we can get with the (water) project. We know from experience that in Dondon it became the water well of the whole community. It’s interesting to see all the community getting involved. Sometimes what the community needs is for somebody to kick off a project and people will follow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Have doctor visits also been a part of this project?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

On one of my trips, I met a group of doctors visiting the Ouanaminthe area, and I had been told that they were coming from Lexington. I met them and we became very good friends, and remain so today. They’re going to Haiti every year to work on another project with Southland Christian Church. We basically formed a “joint effort” with these guys. They’re still going every year, and they are visiting our kids at the school. One of the doctors created a foundation to sponsor kids coming from Haiti to study at the University of Kentucky. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:1.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;                                       We are trying to educate those guys and send them back to Haiti to work in their communities. We have one good example in &lt;a href="https://bcove.video/2H58xN5"&gt;James Blanq&lt;/a&gt;. He’s actually producing chickens now in Ouanaminthe, and he came through this program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

What sort of connections have been made, and how have they developed? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’re taking their volunteers to teach our kids music. We also invited a person that was giving a lesson in painting. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Who will they contact? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll be more than happy to find a way for them to participate in this project. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:1.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;Avelyne:                      Now the parents are much more involved in the education of their kids, and they're more conscious about the importance of education. As an example, Mondays and Fridays are marketing (shopping) days in Ouanaminthe. There is marketing on the border between the city of Dajabon in the Dominican Republic and the city of Ouanaminthe in Haiti. In the past, parents directly involved in the trading process were taking their kids. So, on Mondays and Fridays, the school was empty. The big change now is that the kids are going to school from Monday to Friday and their parents are doing their thing in the market. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:1.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;                                    I have noticed that the government is aware of the project and is approaching the school to look at what we are doing, and they are getting more involved in all this process. That didn’t happen before. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="border:none; margin-left:1.5in; text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Arias, your response to that question too: What are the positive changes that you’ve witnessed? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Lyons once told me, “Jorge, we need to bring different people every time we come to Haiti. We need to bring different people of our Alltech family or people from the Kentucky community simply because it won’t necessarily just change their lives, but it’s also changing our lives.” If you go there and see what’s going on, it really changes your perspective on your life; you see what you have, and what those people don’t have. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We are taking different people to visit the project. Those people are getting more involved in the project some way or another. I took part of my family on my last trip. I took my son and he wants to go back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Hope After Harvey: Alltech launches relief efforts for Texas farmers and ranchers</title>

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Hope After Harvey: Alltech launches relief efforts for Texas farmers and ranchers&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – The Lone Star State should not stand alone in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey’s deluge. The historic hurricane’s damage could be devastating to Texas farmers and ranchers, who lead the U.S. in cattle, cotton, hay, sheep and goat production, contributing more than $20 billion annually to the economy. There are countless reports of thousands of head of cattle in America’s “cattle country” that could not be rescued before Harvey hit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To deliver relief specifically to Texas’ farm and ranch community, Alltech is launching Hope After Harvey. Alltech is donating $20,000 to kick off the relief fund and will then match the first $80,000 in donations made to its 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Alltech ACE Foundation by September 15, 2017. To give to Hope After Harvey, visit &lt;a href="https://go.alltech.com/harveyrelief"&gt;https://go.alltech.com/harveyrelief&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the Alltech family has committed to donating $100,000 in value of animal feed and crop products.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A team of employees is preparing to deploy to Texas this week to help rope cattle. Additional employee teams are being organized for trips in the months ahead to support farmers and ranchers wherever they need extra hands, whether in installing new fencing, rebuilding barns, restoring fields or herding animals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Harvey hit home for many of our customers and employees in Texas, and, therefore, Harvey has hit ‘home’ for the Alltech family globally,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. “Our Lone Star friends will not stand alone; they will have our support every step of the rebuild.”&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alltech presents student research award to Purdue University student</title>

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Alltech presents student research award to Purdue University student&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Matthew Aardsma wins award for paper on relative metabolizable energy values for fats and oils in young broilers and adult roosters&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[LEXINGTON, Ky.] — Connecting the farm to the lab through research is critical for agricultural innovation. Illustrating its commitment to encouraging student research, Alltech presented the 34th Alltech Student Research Manuscript Award to Matthew Aardsma of Purdue University during the 106th annual Poultry Science Association meeting, held in Orlando, Florida, July 17–20.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Alltech Student Research Manuscript Award is given to a student who is the senior author of an outstanding research manuscript in &lt;em&gt;Poultry Science&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;The Journal of Applied Poultry Research&lt;/em&gt;. Aardsma’s winning paper titled, &lt;em&gt;R&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;elative metabolizable energy values for fats and oils in young broilers and adult roosters&lt;/em&gt;, focused on developing a bio-assay where feed-grade fats and oils were evaluated for their relative metabolizable energy content quickly and accurately. The paper showed results for several fats and oils that are commonly fed in the poultry industry, and that the results obtained for adult roosters are the same with young broiler chickens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Research is an integral part of Alltech and the poultry industry's success to date," said Dr. Ted Sefton, director of poultry for Alltech Canada. "Alltech is proud to sponsor the Alltech Student Research Manuscript Award to encourage students to publish their research in peer-reviewed journals and communicate new technologies and discoveries being made in the lab that can have a direct impact on the farm."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aardsma grew up in Central Illinois, where his parents encouraged him to explore his interests in agriculture and animal production. He received his bachelor’s degree in animal sciences from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2013 and his master’s degree in animal sciences with an emphasis in poultry nutrition in 2015, working with Dr. Carl Parsons. After a summer internship at Southern Illinois University working in aquaculture nutrition, he began a Ph.D. program in animal nutrition at Purdue University. Aardsma is currently studying with Jay Johnson and focusing on nutrition-based stress physiology in poultry and swine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alltech has sponsored the Alltech Student Research Manuscript Award since 2000, recognizing young leaders in scientific innovation for their commitment to publishing and sharing their work within the poultry sector.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Alltech and Hubbard Feeds contribute to successful Prime Time Gala in support of Feeding South Dakota&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;[BROOKINGS, S.D.] – The agriculture community recently banded together at the fourth annual &lt;a href="http://sdprimetimegala.com/"&gt;Prime Time Gala&lt;/a&gt; to support &lt;a href="http://www.feedingsouthdakota.org/"&gt;Feeding South Dakota&lt;/a&gt;, which provides food assistance to hundreds of men, women and children across the state. Both Alltech and Hubbard Feeds, an Alltech company, supported the successful event, which raised a total of $236,508.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highest-bid item at the event’s fundraising auction was a &lt;a href="http://www.keenansystem.com/ie-en/"&gt;KEENAN&lt;/a&gt; mixer wagon donated from Alltech South Dakota, which raised $40,000 and was sold to Mike Winter from Brandt, South Dakota.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Alltech is proud to support the Prime Time Gala with the donation of a KEENAN mixer for auction, as the money raised for Feeding South Dakota will go back to the people in our communities who need it most,” said CJ Tanderup, Alltech regional sales manager.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The event, hosted by the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Foundation in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, welcomed more than 1,540 guests. To date, the Prime Time Gala has raised a total of $737,508 for Feeding South Dakota, which has helped purchase 414,644 pounds of beef for those in need across the state since 2014. Also presented during the gala were $10,000 in scholarships to four students attending South Dakota schools who are interested in improving beef production and promotion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Hubbard Feeds is honored to be part of the Prime Time Gala as our agriculture industry and community come together to raise money for those struggling with food insecurity and to show our support for the South Dakota beef industry,” said Tyler Melroe, beef nutritionist for Hubbard Feeds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Alltech South Dakota donates KEENAN mixer wagon in support of Feeding South Dakota&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;[BROOKINGS, S.D.] – Global animal health and nutrition company Alltech is proud to announce the donation of a &lt;a href="http://www.keenansystem.com/ie-en/"&gt;KEENAN&lt;/a&gt; mixer wagon to be auctioned at South Dakota’s Prime Time Gala on June 17, 2017.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hosted by the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Foundation, the Prime Time Gala is an annual fundraiser that benefits &lt;a href="http://www.feedingsouthdakota.org/"&gt;Feeding South Dakota&lt;/a&gt;, an organization that provides emergency food assistance to thousands of people in any given week and hundreds of men, women and children every day across South Dakota.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“We understand the impact that an event such as the Prime Time Gala has, not only on our state, but our local community,” said CJ Tanderup, Alltech regional sales manager. “We are proud to donate the KEENAN mixer wagon to a great cause in order to raise money for those in need and to show our support for the South Dakota beef industry.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since hosting the first Prime Time Gala in June 2014, over $501,000 has been raised for Feeding South Dakota to purchase over 361,804 pounds of beef. Feeding South Dakota provides emergency food assistance for an estimated 190,000 people every year and nearly 50 percent of the individuals are children and infants.

&lt;span property="schema:name"&gt;Nine journalists to travel to South Africa for IFAJ-Alltech young leaders program&lt;/span&gt;

    &lt;div class="field-content "&gt;
                &lt;div property="schema:text"&gt;&lt;p&gt;[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – Nine agricultural journalists will soon dive into hands-on training featuring professional development, leadership and global networking as winners of the 2017 IFAJ-Alltech Young Leaders in Agricultural Journalism Award.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winners chosen for this year’s 12th annual award are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tom Bicknell&lt;/strong&gt;, Australia&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kizito Cudjoe&lt;/strong&gt;, Ghana&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Melanie Jenkins&lt;/strong&gt;, United Kingdom&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Philip Keitany&lt;/strong&gt;, Kenya&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rachel Martin&lt;/strong&gt;, Northern Ireland&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthias Schulze Steinmann&lt;/strong&gt;, Germany&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jessie Scott&lt;/strong&gt;, United States of America&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maria Törner&lt;/strong&gt;, Sweden&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eva Zitz&lt;/strong&gt;, Austria&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The award supports the winners’ participation in the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) Congress and an intensive boot camp-style workshop. This year’s boot camp will take place from March 31 to April 1, prior to the IFAJ Congress in Gauteng, South Africa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Each year, we continue to see the best and brightest minds in agricultural journalism from around the world receive this award,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. “Congratulations to these nine outstanding candidates. They exemplify the leadership, skills and dedication needed to communicate and connect the agricultural industry to a wider audience.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The IFAJ-Alltech Young Leaders in Agricultural Journalism Award selection process involved a written submission, a critique of the candidate’s leadership potential, a demonstration of leadership abilities and a narrative explaining his/her desire in being involved in the program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bicknell&lt;/strong&gt; has worked in a variety of communication and extension roles in agriculture since 2008. His media career has had a particular focus on horticulture and has included roles as the inaugural editor of horticulture business magazine Produce Plus, writer for Asiafruit Magazine, organizer and judge for the first PMA-Produce Plus Marketer of the Year Award and editorial consultant with agricultural publisher Coretext, which included writing for and managing a number of titles and communications campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cudjoe&lt;/strong&gt; has more than six years of experience reporting for one of the most reputable newspapers in Ghana, the Business &amp; Financial Times. Cudjoe was honored as the 2016 Tourism Correspondent of the Year by the Ghana Tourism Authority for his contribution toward the development of the local tourism industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jenkins&lt;/strong&gt;, an agricultural journalist and public relations consultant at Agri-Hub since 2015, writes for numerous publications in the U.K., including Farmers Weekly, Farmers Guardian and Crop Production Magazine. She was awarded the British Guild of Agricultural Journalists John Deere Training Award in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keitany&lt;/strong&gt; is a business journalist with Kenya’s leading media house, Kenya Television Network. In January 2016, Keitany got the green light to produce and report on a weekly agribusiness feature segment named “The Next Frontier,” which has shared the stories of over 100 stakeholders in the agriculture sector across Kenya and East Africa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Martin&lt;/strong&gt; writes for the Belfast Telegraph, Northern Ireland’s largest daily newspaper. She has reported on the agriculture industry from Italy, Switzerland and Scotland. Her articles and photographs have been published in the Belfast Telegraph, Irish Independent, FarmWeek and Farming Life, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schulze Steinmann&lt;/strong&gt; is deputy-editor-in-chief for Wochenblatt für Landwirtschaft &amp; Landleben, an agriculture paper with a focus on the economy, markets and politics. In 2013, he was recognized as a specialist journalist of the year with the Karl Theodor Vogel Prize.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scott&lt;/strong&gt; is a digital content manager for Meredith Agrimedia. During the past four years, Scott has covered equipment trends for Successful Farming Magazine as well as its website and television show. In addition to creating content, she also works with the editorial team to coordinate news coverage on Agriculture.com and manages the distribution of content through newsletters and social media.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Törner&lt;/strong&gt; writes for an agricultural magazine called Land Lantbruk, which is part of LRF Media, one of Sweden’s largest publishing houses. In 2014, she was awarded the Gunnar Ernest scholarship for ambitious students within the food and agriculture sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zitz&lt;/strong&gt; writes for Oesterreichische BauernZeitung, an Austrian newspaper. In 2014, she was awarded the Young Journalist Prize from the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission and the European Network of Agricultural Journalists. In 2015, Zitz also received the Josef Steiniger Award from the Austrian Guild of Agricultural Journalists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“IFAJ appreciates Alltech’s commitment to global agricultural journalism and, in particular, to helping talented young journalists become leaders in their national agricultural journalism guilds,” said Owen Roberts, IFAJ president. “There are many examples of how recipients of the Alltech-sponsored Young Leaders award, who go on to participate in the boot camp program, are strengthening IFAJ and agricultural journalism. Alltech is helping develop and encourage a great pool of talent around the world.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than 100 young journalists have received the award and strengthened their communication skills and leadership in the agricultural journalism sector since the program first began in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
