Thru efforts of the University of Kentucky Horticulture Specialist, a three night education webinar series on high tunnel tomato production was offered across the state for agents to host in their counties.  These webinars were hosted by our local Knox County Agriculture and Natural Resource agent where the series was well attended.  All participants have reported less disease and insect pressure as well as an increase of five or more pounds of tomatoes per plant production. Participants credit the results to the educational production information received from the webinars.
