Not long after I started with Extension back in January, the area meetings held between Lincoln, Boyle, Garrard, and Mercer Counties had kicked in full swing. As a new ag agent to the area I had the oppurtunity to see how these meetings where structured with a hands offs pressure off type of feeling. This was very benefical for me because the other more experianced agents filled me in on who the specalist were, what needed signed, and how we split the bill for the food. I was able to conccet with producers from Lincoln County and able to build a relationship with them. This also served as a time to work closely with the other area ag agents and help break the ice a little. Over all these meetings were a success for me!
