Agent Resources

On this page are some educational resources that Extension professionals can use with their clientele. There resources listed will continue to grow over time so please check back. Many of the powerpoint presentations listed can be downloaded and used by agents, just be sure to cite the original author when and if you use them. We also will be including a section for high school teachers featuring hydroponic production of lettuce and tomato based on some demonstration projects conducted at the University of Kentucky. In the future we hope to increase the materials by including presentations recorded using Microsoft Lync or similar software.
