On December 18, 2022, Tom Miller Ballard County ANR Agent joined the creators of the KY Ag Matter Podcast Jay Stone, Hopkins Country ANR, Vickie Shadrick, Webster County ANR and David Fourqurean McClean County ANR agents for a discussion on the Farm Bill and producer elections that needed to be determined before the March 15 2023 deadline.  

Due to vacancies in the Ag Economic Department (vacancy now filled) Tom Miller determined to help with Agent and Producer Education across the state but especially in the western Grain Production Areas.  County producer meetings, regional producer meetings, the development of a video distributed by the different state grain associations have all been used to insure that Ky Producers had up to date information.

This was the first time that a podcast has been used to try and help get this information out.  As of the writing of this, the show has been downloaded 41 times with producers in 8 different states.  While the numbers are not great, it does show that this type of programming can reach a wide area audience with timely information
