Author: Edwin Ritchey

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

During the COVID 19 epidemic we successfully navigated the regulations and restrictions to continue to offer KATS trainings. We were successful going back to the previous format for the KATS trainings with good participation after COVID 19 restrictions were relaxed. During this reporting period we had 131 participants in the KATS program. The completed surveys (approximately 50% return rate) represented 361,743 acres and a net value to their operations of $5,770,470.
