FCS educators and extension agents address many topics yet struggle to find the time to cover all areas. The Farm and Home Show is an educational, five-minute, show produced by the Warren County Cooperative Extension Service that shares timely topics related to the farm and the home. The Farm and Home Show airs at 5:15 AM and 7:15 AM weekday mornings, Monday through Friday.  Co-host, Kristi Shive, Warren County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, highlights Family and Consumer Sciences by covering multidisciplinary topics that relate to home, health, and human life. This multimedia platform is an opportunity for Extension Agents and Specialists to share research-based information from the University of Kentucky. Also, the show provides opportunities for community partners to share expertise and information about local organizations and events.
