Describe the Issue or Situation.

Each year the Union Co Extension Office host a hay show during the county fair for producers to bring in their hay to be tested by the state hay trailer. This is opened for not only Union co producers but also for Crittenden, Henderson and Webster county producers. People could bring in their hay and get samples put from it the day of the show or they could pull their own samples and bring to the office incase they were unable to attend the show. 

Describe the Outreach or Educational Program Response (and Partners, if applicable).

The educational program was for producers to know what their hay quality is incase they would like to sell it or have it as knowing if any additional items are needed to supplement for their animals with the hay they are using. I sent flyers to the other agents in the counties listed above to share with their producers. I also worked with the state Ag department hay office to set up the trailer and get these test done. Also working with the fairboard to getting a date and location set up for the event. 

Provide the Number and Description(s) of Participants/Target Audience.

There was a total of 44 samples that were done. 

Provide a Statement of Outcomes or Program Impact. Please note that the outcomes statement must use evaluation data to describe the change(s) that occurred in individuals, groups, families, businesses, or in the community because of the program/outreach.

This program impacts what is needed for producers to know their hay quailty and if anything is needed else during the winter months with feeding hay to their animals. This program is also free for producers so that helps with getting the information they need at no cost to them.
