I was a part of the high tunnel Extension team that led this two-part opportunity for Kentucky growers. We offered new farmers the chance to join us initially through webinars to learn about the basics of high tunnel agriculture. I specifically taught on integrated pest management inside of high tunnels, covering pest prevention, monitoring, and management tips. Farmers were then invited to join us in person at one of three in person field days spread across the state (Morgan, Franklin, and Muhlenberg Counties specifically). For entomology, 65% of viewers reported a drastic increase in knowledge on pests and pest management, with 35% reporting a lesser increase. There were approximately 20 attendees at each in person event, behavior change and economic analysis will be performed as the beginning farmer program continues.
