Farm Visits with Extension Agents
Author: Edwin Ritchey
Planning Unit: Wildcat County CES (demo only)
Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Farm visits to producers’ farms to help diagnose production issues are sometimes very beneficial, very beneficial to the producers needing help solving their production issue and very beneficial to extension agents fostering relationships with clientele. I was involved with several farm visits with agents that dealt with hay production, nursery production, and row crop production issues. I had four different agents relay information to me that the visit to their clienteles’ farm was well received and appreciated and made the UK Cooperative Extension Service really shine. I am happy to hear reports like that from agents and producers, knowing it helps them with their community engagement and perception and provides a positive outlook to UK Cooperative Extension Services in general.
