The purpose of the Meade County Ag Field Day is to educate farmers and landowners on improved agricultural practices that are economical and safe to man as well as the environment.  Mead County has a tradition of holding a field day on a local farm and producers expect the Extension Office to implement it. For many years now the Meade County Extension Office collaborates with the Meade County Conservation District and the Natural Resource and Conservation Service to plan and host an Ag Field Day every other year. Planning started in October 2021 for our August 2022 Field Day. An eight member  committee has met three times an has made two farm visits during the planning process. Two long term demonstrations were started in the spring. Six tour stops, four production Ag: Animal Reproduction, Technology in Ag, Forages, and BQA, along with the conservation that goes into a Heavy Use Feeding area.  The X10D App will be part of the lunch discussion.
