The meeting was held in Christian County (WKY) and Clark County (CKY) to broaden producer access to the educational material. A total of 250 attended the conference across both days. The topics were rated useful or very useful by 98% of respondents. More than 98% of respondents indicated increased understanding of the topics of the meeting. More than 98% of respondents indicated the meeting as a good value in terms of time spent and increased profitability for their farming operation.
