Revamped Mushroom Cultivation

Author: Amanda Potter

Planning Unit: Rowan County CES

Major Program: Horticulture, Consumer and Home

Plan of Work: Crop & Livestock Production

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I decided to hold a second mushroom cultivation program within the county. I took the information from the first program for the things that did and did not work, and revamped the program. I spent more time and effort into advertising and reaching out to people who I believed would have an interest in the program. During the registration period of the program, more than 3 times the people signed up to attend. During the program itself, there was a lot of questions and interactions from those who attended. After the program was completed, I have had most of the participants reach out to me about how much they enjoyed the program and hope to attend future programs. They have been keeping me updated on their progress and continue to be excited about what they learned within the program.
