Author: Christopher Teutsch
Planning Unit: Wildcat County CES (demo only)
Major Program: Forages
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
In 2017, we established the KYForages YouTube Channel. The impact of this endeavor continues to grow. Our subscribers have increased by almost five times since the channel was established to over 6,700. In this reporting period, content from this channel has been viewed more 115,000 times with an average watch time of just over 12 minutes resulting in a total watch time of approximately 1.4 million minutes. The United States and Canada make up 77% of the total views with the remaining 23% coming from abroad. The use of this YouTube Channel has greatly extended the reach of the UK Forage Extension program. For example, approximately 100 individuals attended the 2025 Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference held in Lexington, KY in February. However, the videos from this conference have been viewed more than 2,300 times. The reach of this high-quality program was expanded by approximately 23-fold, allowing individuals from around the country and world to benefit.
