Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Kentucky Agriculture Training School held a full schedule of in-person workshops at UKREC and also utilized the Caldwell, Hopkins, and Fayette County Extension Offices. Despite that the UKREC ‘normal facilities’ were destroyed by the EF-4 tornado a year earlier, we have been able to return to the UKREC farm and offer beneficial workshops. KATS held 5 workshops in this reporting period with 131 participants, representing over 360,000 acres at a value of over $5,770,470.
