Welding School for Farmers
Author: Colby Guffey
Planning Unit: Clinton County CES
Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy
Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
In October, a second basics of welding class began at the Clinton County Technology Center. This once again was a multi-county effort between Clinton and Cumberland County Extension. The class currently has 15 participants. With the start of a new class and some discussion of an advanced class it was decided to conduct a 6-month post survey with the first group that went through the program. Eleven of the 12 participants have completed the 6-month post survey. Of those, 91% indicated they have completed a welding project at their home/farm, 64% have completed three or more projects at their home/farm, and 82% indicated they would be interested in an advanced class in the spring of 2023. A few quotes from the 6-month post surveys were, I enjoyed it very much and feel programs like this is needed and useful; great instructor; a good class, was very helpful.
