KATS was developed with the intention of being a very hands-on training series where specialists work with attendees to provide trainings and have them put these new skills, practices, or instruments to use in a field setting. The half day winter meetings are still hands-on as able, but more of a classroom type setting where the participants get very in-depth information on specific topics. The first training was February 18 and had good interaction and participation. We had a hybrid meeting where both the newly renovated UKREC facility was used for a classroom type setting along with field demonstrations and activities. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the remaining KATS trainings to date were cancelled. We are currently working on ways to offer on-line and remote trainings opportunities so that participants can gain their required continuing educational units for certified crop advisors.
