Kentucky Afield host Tim Farmer records an introduction for the television show during a recording session at the studio at the Salato Wildlife Education Center.

“Kentucky Afield” has been on television for more than half a century, becoming one of the longest-running programs in TV history. In that time, the program has evolved from a small, in-studio operation that started in 1953 and dealt mostly with statewide hunting and fishing reports to a show where people see firsthand what – and, in some cases, who – Kentucky’s outdoors can offer.
