According to the 2017 Ag Census, Clark County have over 800 farms and around $34,028,000 in agricultural sales with livestock sales equaling 55% of total sales. Also Clark county has 14,576 households according to the 2019 census. With this knowledge, the Clark County Extension Office worked to hold the 2022 Winter School. The purpose of the 2022 Winter School was to hold a three day series covering beef finishing nutrition, pasture weed control, backyard bramble production, homebased producer regulations, equipment cost for small farms, and potential funding sources for farmers. Sessions were taught by the Clark County Extension Agents and UK Extension Specialist, and meals were provided by the Clark County Farm Bureau, GRC High School FFA, and the Clark County Cattlemens Association. A total of around 140 in attendance over the three sessions. Participants were excited to learn how they could make their businesses more profitable, earn their educational credit for County Agricultural Improvement Program, learn to grow their own fruit, and finally learn how they can further their business by introducing further processing.
