Extension and outreach programs for Kentucky and Surrounded states in 2024

Author: Raul Villanueva

Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

I participated in the main extension events that took place at the University of Kentucky-Research and Education Center at Princeton (UK-REC). In the UK-REC all the extension programs are in a recovery period after the devastating effects of the tornado of 2021 that destroyed all the center installations. In these events, there were a total of 329 attendees. Also, I had been on outreach programs for adults and children at Land Between the Lakes and at Fort Campell, there was an attendance of at least 950 people.

  • Winter Wheat Meeting on 02/01/24, Attendance 120 (16 female), 3 CCA CEU, 3 Pesticide CEU
