Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill brought forth many new changes to the landscape of American agriculture. In cooperation with Purchase area agents, Graves County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Samantha Anderson, identified the need to address these changes and their impact to local producers.
The 2019 Annual Winter Agricultural Conference consisted of a panel discussion on policy updates from Dr. Will Snell, University of Kentucky, and Joe Cain, Kentucky Farm Bureau, and concluded with a dicamba update and certification course.
The conference was attended by approximately 200 producers and agriculture industry representatives from the Purchase area. Of those surveyed, 75% of attendees agreed that the conference as a whole was relevant to their needs.
