Success StoryBeef Field Day



Beef Field Day

Author: Jessica James

Planning Unit: Henderson County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Agricultural Practices

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

I partnered with Union and Webster County to have a Beef Field Day in Henderson County. This was at Kevin Martin's farm. Specialists came and discussed topics such as backgrounding, body condition, drone spraying, hay nutrition value and a KBN discussion. We had a great turnout for this field day. We had around 70 people show up. We had various counties there including Daviess, McLean, Henderson, Webster and Union. The goal was to have a field day with information on different timely topics that any beef producers in the area could relate to. Kentucky Beef Network partnered with us on this to help advertise and give an update on what KBN offers. We had sponsors to help cover the meal cost. Our sponsors were Ag Revolution, Farm-Credit and Stone Veterinary clinic. We also had a lot of good feedback from the field day.
