Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Livestock production remains a major force in the agriculture economy in Boyle county. A University of Kentucky specialist was on the program for our area forage meeting and he discussed ways of becoming efficient and protecting the environment at the same time, whlie feeding livestock in the winter. As a result of the meeting the ANR agent was contacted by two producers that wanted a farm visit set up with the specialist so they could discuss in greater depth their feeding operations and how they could do a better job in the winter time. Different ideas were discussed with each producer and plans are being made for feeding pads, fenceline feeders, and better access to water.
