Local Farmer Success
Author: Lyndall Harned
Planning Unit: Boyd County CES
Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy
Plan of Work: Livestock and Equine
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
I had a local farmer come up to me before a recent Master Cattleman’s Program and told me his partner said to tell me ‘Thank You’. And I asked what for. He said all the help, information, and guidance I had given him over the past few years since he first contacted me. He said that between the information I had given him, the programs I had gotten him involved in, etc., had helped him greatly improve his farming operation and specifically his profitability.
He said specifically the soil testing, the forage testing, the weed control, and the genetic improvements, have all contributed to making his farming make more money, as well as him feeling better about the quality of his cattle herd and the operations involved.
