In 2017, we established the KYForages YouTube Channel. The impact of this endeavor continues to grow. Our subscribers have almost tripled in the past four years to over 4,100. In this reporting period, content from this channel has been viewed more 191,000 times with an average watch time of just over 13 minutes resulting in a total watch time that exceeds 2.5 million minutes. The United States and Canada make up 79% of the total views with the remaining 21% coming from abroad. The use of this YouTube Channel has greatly extended the reach of the UK Forages Extension. For example, approximately 300 individuals attended the 2022 Fall Grazing Conference held at two locations in Kentucky on October 26 and 27. However, the videos from this conference have been viewed more than 28,000 times. The reach of this high-quality program was expanded by approximately 100-fold, allowing individuals from around the country and world to benefit. The KYForages YouTube Channel can be found at http://www.youtube.com/c/KYForages.
