The ANR agent along with agents from Garrard, Lincoln, and Mercer counties conducted four area meetings. The tobacco meeting had 35 in attendance, area grain meeting had 37 in attendance, area forage meeting had 60 in attendance, and the area backgrounders meeting had 33 in attendance. Various  topics are covered with specilists and agent delivering the educational materials. These meetings also satisfy the educational requirements for cost share funds. Producers told us in surveys that they learned at least one thing that they were going to use in their operation. We also ask them to tell us on the survey some topics that they would like to hear presented for the next year. This information helps the agents in planning meetings and allows us to make sure we broaden the topics so that we are providing material that producers want and need.
