Bud Burdette Retires

Bud joined Central Kentucky Ag Credit in 2005, bringing with him a lifetime of agricultural experience.

Before beginning his career with the Association, Bud, his family, and his parents operated a dairy farm near Junction City, Kentucky, in Lincoln County for 29 years. Together, they milked more than 200 registered Jersey cattle each day.

Bud grew up in Lebanon, Kentucky. After graduating from the University of Kentucky, he and his wife returned to the dairy farm. Through those experiences, Bud learned early that success required dedication to faith, family, farming, and community. He fondly recalls working alongside his father and the memories they made during both the rewarding and challenging times on the farm.

Bud and his wife, Diana, have been married for 51 years. They are the proud parents of three children—two daughters and one son—and grandparents to ten wonderful grandchildren who keep them on their toes. They currently live near Wilmore, Kentucky, in Jessamine County.

As Bud looks forward to retirement, he is excited to enjoy a more flexible schedule and spend quality time with his family.

Reflecting on his career, Bud shared that his favorite aspects of working at Ag Credit were conducting farm visits throughout the region and building friendships with the people he worked alongside over the years.

Central Kentucky Ag Credit extends its deepest gratitude to Bud for his unwavering commitment to serving the agricultural community. His contributions have made a lasting impact, and we wish him a retirement filled with joy, adventure, and cherished moments with his loved ones.
