According to Bogle, commercial poultry facilities are being watched very closely which has a big impact in Kentucky, because poultry is the state’s number one industry.
He also announced the Integrated Pest Management program will be held in Hopkinsville on Thursday, March 9th with registration required for in-person attendees or those online.
