Success StoryTobacco Production



Tobacco Production

Author: Ricky Arnett

Planning Unit: Green County CES

Major Program: Tobacco

Plan of Work: Increasing Crop 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 no land land but access to land. He 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 tobacco producer.
