The UK Horse Pasture Evaluation team and the University of Kentucky Ag Equine Programs host the annual Farm and Facilities Expo on May 30th, at Olive Hill Sporthorses, in Fayette county. Over 220 people attended the events including horse farm managers, horse farm owners, county extension agents, industry representatives and students. There were 15 industry and education exhibits and rotating workshops included: 1) harnessing on-farm solar potential, 2) overseeding damaged pastures, 3) weed control on horse farms, and 4) utilizing hay feeders to reduce waste. The timing of the expo was especially appropriate with all of the rain in 2018 and the resulting damage to pastures. Many participants planned to go back to their farms and implement the pasture establishment and weed control practices demonstrated.
