Success StoryBeef Cattle Production



Beef Cattle Production

Author: Ricky Arnett

Planning Unit: Green County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Increase Livestock Production in Green County

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Agriculture seems to be a diminishing population but this year Green County grew in numbers. One young man and his family looked toward extension for support and help. This family had land but had very little experience in agriculture but at the same time realized how important agriculture is and wanted their kids to understand also. They approached me with a plan and a goal in mind but wanting guidance in pursuing this dream. Through educational programs and several one on one visits, Extension has not just gained a supporter but a family. Also Green County and Kentucky has gained a beef producer.
