Covid-19 Pandemic Changes Direction for KATS

Author: Teresa Rogers

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected many programs, included the KATS program which was designed to provide in-person, hands-on trainings.  As guidelines and regulations developed, it became apparent we would not be able to have the remainder our trainings that were planned for the 2020 growing season.  To continue to provide needed information, we began to compose and assemble short videos which came together as Coffee KATS: Agriculture information in the time it takes to get a cup of coffee.  This was a learning process; learning to video, edit and publish videos and learning how to make them available to the public.   The videos are all listed on the KATS web page, in which a KATS You-Tube channel also had to be developed.  These videos are also being shared on social media.  Although very new, Coffee KATS has been successful as we are providing one place to get quick and useful information.  We will continue to add more videos amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
