KATS Continues To Offer Valuable Trainings

Author: Teresa Rogers

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

At each KATS training, attendees complete surveys to evaluate that training in particular, and also offer recommendations on needed and desired topics for the future. Over the past year, KATS has offered 4 trainings based off these responses. These include an IPM training, Crop Scouting Clinic, Drone Pilot Certification course, and a Soils Properties Workshop. The audience varies from producers, extension agents, crop consultants and ad supply dealers.  All of whom can use the information gained and apply it to their own operations, or can educate their clientele.

Most of the educators are UK extension.  However, KATS has, once again, partnered with Mandy Briggs from Champaigne, Illinois to teach the Drone Pilot Certification Course.  Jerry McIntosh from NRCS was a major contributor to the Soil Properties Workshop.

The attendees that completed surveys represented over 570,000 acres.  All surveys indicated the participant would be willing to attend another and would likely tell friends and coworkers about KATS. The information gained from KATS trainings help producers to change or enhance their practices for better crop outcomes in the future years.
