The UK Wheat Field School was initiated in 2016 to provide real life scenarios for crop advisors, managers, and others in the agricultural field. In 2018 the Wheat Field School was changed to KATS to include other crops commonly grown in Kentucky and surrounding states. The spring of 2020 started out with two in-person, half-day meetings and then COVID 19 resulted in the cancellation of in-person meetings. We had to switch to a virtual format to continue offering trainings. Since COVID restrictions have been relaxed recently, we resumed in-person meetings for our clientele with good participation. Attendees come from multiple states, including Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Many of the attendees have attended multiple KATS trainings which is a testament to the quality of the information provided.
