As an 1890 land-grant institution founded in 1886, Kentucky State University joins a collaborative effort with the Rural Business Cooperative Service and other 1890 land-grant institutions. Kentucky State University's land-grant mission is designed to help resolve agricultural, economic, and social problems of people in rural and urban communities; therefore, the goals and objectives of RBS are consistent with the overall mission of Kentucky State University as a land-grant institution. Through the use of BISNet, rural Kentuckians and others will have the opportunity to access information pertaining to the services that Kentucky State University can offer to aid in economic development.

We hope that you and others will take advantage of this technology to gain the information that you need about the services that we and other 1890 land-grant institutions can offer to aid you, the consumer, in dealing effectively with the task of everyday living. Please contact us with questions and comments that you may have regarding ways in which we can serve you. We invite you to visit all BISNet pages as well as the University's home page.
