Now in it's 52nd year, the Woodford County Farm Tour showcases different aspects of agriculture throughout the county to the public. A combined effort of the Woodford County Extension Service, Woodford County Conservation District, Kentucky Fish & Wildlife, and Woodford County Fiscal Court, the farm tour exposed over 250 participants to current hemp, water quality, and drone research being performed at the C. Oran Little Research Farm. Other stops included the equine program at Midway University, equine pasture management, and native warm season grass establishment at Midway's Walter Bradley Park. Many participants were actively engaged in the activities and most reported that they gained a significant understanding of the topics presented.
