“The expo will allow farm owners and managers to see the range of equipment and supplies that are currently available for small- to medium-sized horse farms.” said Ray Smith, associate professor and forage extension specialist for the UK College of Agriculture. “UK specialists will provide ‘hands-on’ instruction techniques for spraying, seeding, fencing, and mowing pastures.” The expo will feature demonstrations on the practical use of equipment suited for small- to mid-sized equine operations from 6-8 p.m. The demonstrations will include weed control basics, mowing and dragging small pastures, seeding and overseeding pastures, and fencing and water systems for rotational grazing. The highlight of the expo will be equipment displays from companies throughout Central Kentucky.
