According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, the average age of farmers in Lincoln County is 57.2 years old. As people age their health begins to change. Ag leaders in our community began discussing health challenges they are personally facing. This leader discussion led to an opportunity to partner with the University Of Kentucky College Of Nursing to offer a program about staying healthy and safe on the farm. This program allowed us to utilize specialists from the College of Nursing and leaders in the community to educate the audience about signs of hearing loss, arthritis, stress, multitasking and injury, communication, just to name a few. We targeted farm couples that were age 45 and over. The specialist used information obtained over their years of farmer based research to come up with scripts about problems farmers and their spouses will face as they begin to age. We identified 4 leader volunteers to act as farmers and read the scripts as though they were having a conversation at a local gathering place. There were 4 scenarios that were presented and between each scenario an open discussion was held about the information that was presented. We had a full house the night of the performance.Participants filled out an initial survey at the event that evening, then had follow up surveys by telephone 2 weeks and 6 weeks after the program. The data gathered from these surveys will be used to understand what effect the short plays and group discussion may have on the participant and their family and friends. This data is still being gathered and analyzed. One farmer called me the day after the program and said this was one of the best programs he’s been to in a long time. The things we discussed have really got him to evaluating how he conducts himself in his day to day business.
