In Person Training across the Statae for the 2020 Farm Bill Sign-up
Author: Thomas Miller
Planning Unit: Ballard County CES
Major Program: Ag Policy
Plan of Work: Farm Bill Producer and Landowner Education
Outcome: Initial Outcome
With the Rollout of the 2020 Farm Bill Signups, Extension played an important role in helping FSA conduct grower education. FSA is not allowed to give growers advice on the best options. Tom Miller, Ballard County Agent for ANR, tried to help as many agents across the state as possible by developing a Power Point they could use individually or by helping them, conduct training meetings. He did a zoom recording of a regional meeting at Warren County for Warren, Simpson and Butler that other agents could access and use for their training. He conducted live training meetings for Carlisle, McCracken, Livingston, Marshall, Graves and Crittenden. He conducted a training at the fall Ky Soybean Association Meeting. In all, over 250 producers from across the state were trained in person on how to make the best decision for their individual farms.
