First Timers

Author: Tyler Miller

Planning Unit: Lincoln County CES

Major Program: Forages

Plan of Work: Management and Marketing

Outcome: Initial Outcome

According to census data our popluation in Lincoln County has decreased just very so slightly. I would not have guess this to be true because it seems like almost weekly I am talking with someone new to the area and wants to know more about how to make their farm productive. I call these folks "First Timers". I love these calls because I know this is my chance to hook them on Extension. I have worked with producers wanting help identifying weeds, to helping them with farm financials, to making site visits to build relationships. As I go out to meet with these "First Timers", i always try to take some relevant information with me from the office to hand them. I feel this is a way for them to sit down at night and look back over some revelant information and think, University of kentucky Extension is going to be very helpful.
