Back from the UK Extension Study Abroad program, Henry County agriculture and natural resources agent Megan Wetenkamp has a lot to share about Scottish agriculture! While visiting a 165-acre Scottish farm, she saw the similarities and differences between agricultural practices in Scotland and Kentucky. She found their tillage practices surprising, given the high rainfall, and loved seeing the sheep and Dexter cattle.
