Success StoryCentral KY Educational Hay Program



Central KY Educational Hay Program

Author: Jessica Barnes

Planning Unit: Harrison County CES

Major Program: Forages

Plan of Work: Marketing & Profitability

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

We held the educational portion of the Central KY Hay Program in December and more than 24 participants attended the meeting. This program consisted of recognizing the hay contest category winners as well as an educational component from Dr. Bob Coleman and Dr. Jimmy Henning as well as a producer panel where some of the category winners were able to share their experiences with the group. 

In the post survey of the program all participants had an increase in knowledge of interpreting hay test results and all felt the program was very beneficial. It is our hope as agents to continue to grow the program over the years and make this an annual event.
