There were four KATS workshops in 2017 and four in 2018. With a planning committee officially put into place in the fall of 2018, we have set dates to increase the number of trainings in the 2019 growing season to at least six. Increasing the number of trainings per year also increases the number of opportunities for people to attend. Each training usually covers topics that are relevant at that time of the growing season, and having multiple trainings gives the best opportunity to educate attendees with the most up to date information material. Increasing the number of trainings also gives us the ability to incorporate special trainings into the calendar. Examples of these would be the Spray Clinic held in July and a Field Scouting Clinic in May. With the surveys that we receive from each of the workshops, it is determined that near 100% of the attendees declared that they “definitely” or “probably” would attend future KATS workshops. This gives us encouragement to continue to add more workshops to the yearly schedule in the future.
