The Lewis County Field Day was set up and planed by the Lewis County Agriculture Council and Lewis County ANR Agent. It was held on a local farm in the county. At the event local farmers learned about Goat as a profitable income, how to properly calibrate their sprayers, how a drone could be used on the farm. Several local businesses set up at the event to let farmers see what is available to them. The local health department and local doctors set up to give farmers free flu shots, blood pressure, and cholesterol checks.
Over 120 local farmers attend the event. As a result of the attending the field day one farmer reported purchasing a drone for his cattle operation, where he uses it to check on his cattle herd. This save him time and allows him to have eyes on his herd every day.
