Due to the Covid 19 epidemic, extension programming required new methods to address the needs of our communities. Extension worked closely with administration, county leadership, and UK specialists to provide the necessary training and resources needed. Produce best management practices, CAIP education, BQCA, pesticide applicator, soil testing, diagnostics and farm visits were maintained by the use of electronic resources as well as creative personal interaction. Many programs were conducted through the development of direct mail pieces. Even during these unprecedented times, the needs of individuals were met. All of the producers who needed to be certified in a particular area received the necessary trainings. This process has opened additional avenues to reach our clientele in addition to our traditional extension programming.
