In 2020, the Woodford County Extension Service took part in a virtual workshop with graduate students in the UK Plant Science Department to discuss how to effectively work with farmers in a consultation/educator role. Nine participants learned more about communication, collaboration, and leadership opportunities in working with farmer clientele. Specifically, the Woodford County Extension Service discussed ways to develop good reputations with farmers, what to do if you don't know the answer, how to suggest improvements in a respectful way, how to promote good management, and conflict management.
