Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy
The Trigg County Cooperative Extension Service in conjunction with the Trigg County Ag Committee host events throughout the year to increase public knowledge of agriculture. It is important to all involved in agriculture to inform the increasingly urban population about their farming practices so that they can understand and appreciate how important farming is to the local economy. The tour is designed to give attendees a firsthand look at modern farming and conservation methods. &n
