his year our Winter Ag Conference focused on the Farm Bill.  The Farm Bill is important to farmers’ daily activities.  Crop sales just in Fulton County is $44,390,000.   The need for this information to get out is necessary to our producers.  We teamed up with Adult agriculture educators from WKCTC to bring an informational meeting to the farmers on the new information.  The meeting was hosted in Pilot Oak, Kentucky by Lowry Farms.  Agriculture agents from Graves, Fulton, Calloway, Marshall, Hickman, and Carlisle County hosted the Winter Agriculture Conference in Pilot Oak.  The program consisted of Farm Bill Update with Dr. Snell form UK.  Joe Cain gave updates from Farm Bureau related to the Farm Bill.  Following lunch there was a separate meeting for the Dicamba training with Bayer chemical, by Glen Pendergrass. 245 farmers and several sponsors attended the morning session.  Lunch and door prizes were provided by 20 product vendors on site.
