Virtual Spray Application Update

Major Program: Integrated Pest Management
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Kentucky Agriculture Training School strives to provide hands on, interactive trainings. During the past year and a half, the Covid pandemic eliminated our ability to have in person meetings and trainings. However, it was important to continue to provide up to date information to help individuals make valuable decisions. We decided to provide the annual Spray Clinic via social media in a hybrid live/prerecorded event. I videoed and edited several educational videos with Travis Legleiter and Kiersten Wise presenting. I then compiled them into a presentation that was played on Facebook live. During and following each video, Travis Legleiter was live to answer questions from those watching. During the program there were 27 watching live, who also were able to earn CEU credits. The program remained on the KATS Facebook page and grew to have 646 people watch. A poll was conducted during the event where we gathered the following information: 92% considered the program to be very beneficial, 93% were very likely or somewhat likely to attend a KATS training in person. In attendance, 54% were crop consultants or ag supply representatives, 23% were ag agents or government employees, and 15% were producers.
