Forages and Beef Cattle are the staple crops of the Gateway Area farm economy. Over the past 10 years the ANR agents in Bath and Montgomery County’s have gathered producer input, planned and implemented Regional Agricultural Commodity Night Programs to focus on these and the current issues facing each. This year we included Menifee and 110 producers attended and gained knowledge from information presented by specialist from the University of Kentucky and others. Producer updates included Pink Eye Prevention in Cattle; Forage Establishment and Production and a Kentucky Hemp Production Update. This educational program continues to gain popularity among producers especially as all ag commodity prices have fallen and producers search for more efficient methods of production and new crop opportunities.
