Plan of Work: New opportunities for agriculture in Knox County
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Since Covid19 restrictions were in place for most of the 2020-21 year, meeting the needs for the county was difficult and challenging to say the least. Soil samples and office visits were received and conducted in the parking lot while following the ever changing CDC guide lines. Farm visits were crucial during these times for educational opportunities and production demonstrations. Because of the efforts of the Knox County Extension Service, High Tunnels were set up and began production, corn and soybeans were planted, hay was harvested, dried and ensiled, home owners planted gardens, new pasture and hay fields were seeded, the Knox County Farmers Market was opened, soil samples were received and recommendations were given as normal as the critical times allowed.
