Outcome: Initial Outcome

The future of Agriculture, with 81 per cent of the land in crop production, Agriculture is a driving force in Carlisle County. 34,054,000 dollars of crop revenue is sold on the average each year in the county. From 2015 to 2020 26,700 annual jobs openings will be available in agriculture according to CNBC. To keep agriculture in the lime light the Carlisle County Extension Service hosted an Agriculture Day for Carlisle County third grade students. The students were divided into smaller groups and they rotated to 10 different booths. The booths included electrical safety, KY Corn production, KY Beef cattle production, Farm to Food, KY Soybean production, and grain safety. Other booths contained information on agriculture products related to sheep, 4-H Adventures, and honey bees. A new booth was added this year dealing with litter and keeping pride county wide. 28 adult volunteers helped guide and teach the students. The students received goodies from different booths to take home as treats. They also got a tasty dairy treat from the 4-H booth. The 69 students all felt they were able to focus on how agriculture impacts their lives each day.
