So
welcome
to
the
fourth
meeting
of
the
house
standing
committee
on
agriculture
and
why
don't
we
just
get
right
into
it?
Senate
Bill
281
is
first
on
the
list
and
I
see
our
sponsor
approaching
with
confidence
that
this
is
going
to
go
smoothly.
D
Right,
you're
right,
Jason
house,
first
Senate
District,
appreciate
you
having
me
this
bill
back
in
I,
believe
the
2014
session,
the
legislature
passed
us
with
the
Department
with
coming
up
with
an
alternate
fuel
strategy.
We
purchased
a
bunch
of
bunch
of
altered
fuel
vehicles,
but
there
was
no
strategy
so
seven
years
later,
they
finally
got
around
to
that.
So
now
we
have
to
to
go
in
pass
a
bill
for
the
implementation
of
this
strategy
in
looking
through
this.
This
is
obviously
good
for
Kentucky
agriculture
for
Kentucky
AG
producers.
D
We
produce
biodiesel
and
ethanol
here
in
the
state.
We.
E
F
G
H
A
A
I
The
floor
is
yours.
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
and
committee
members,
I'm
happy
that
you
have
asked
me
to
come
here
this
morning,
I'm
going
to
present
House
Bill
384,
which
will
establish
the
healthy
Farm
and
Food
Innovation
board
and
specify
membership
and
set
forth
the
duties
of
that
board.
It
will
consist
of
13
members.
The
AG
commissioner
will
be
the
chair,
Secretary
of
Health
and
Family
Services
will
be
on
that
and
then
there
will
be
11
members
that
are
appointed
from
outside
organizations.
I
I
also
had
a
conversation
yesterday,
Mr
chairman
and
I
am
going
to
be
looking
at
doing
a
floor.
Amendment
on
this
to
bring
someone
in
that
works
with
the
our
protein
industry
and
we'll
remove
one
one
of
these
appointees
right
here
and
have
someone
come
in
that
deals
with
livestock
also
and
now
I'll.
Let
Mr
Ishmael
share
her
some
of
her
views
on
this.
G
Yes,
so
the
healthy
Farm
and
Food
Innovation
fund
this
this
create
a
state
structured
state
fund
that
would
be
capable
of
receiving
state,
federal
and
private
philanthropy
funds
to
help
Kentucky
address
food
and
nutritional
security,
while
helping
our
Kentucky
Farmers.
A
I
would
point
out:
there
is
a
pamphlet
in
your
folders
for
committee
members.
If.
G
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
chairman.
Yes,
and
applicants
to
this
fund
are
required
to
use
Kentucky
grown
products,
so
this
would
help
put
money
back
into
our
Farmers
Pockets,
while
expanding
their
businesses.
Also,
this
would
specifically
match
grants.
So
a
lot
of
grants
that
these
programs
use
require
matching
funds.
So
that's
what
this
fund
would
do
was
help
would
help
this
match
for
different
programs
that
help
farmers,
local
producers,
seniors
children
and
WIC
participants,
snap
participants.
G
This
includes
programs
like
Kentucky
double
dollars
if
you're
familiar
with
that
at
the
Seniors
Farmers
Market
nutrition
program,
as
well
as
fresh
RX
for
moms.
These
are
all
different
programs
that
this
fund
could
definitely
stabilize
sustain
and
keep
going
to
help
our
farmers
and
hopefully
expand
and
help.
You
know
those
in
need
as
well
that
are
dealing
with
food
insecurity,
and
we
know
that
about
a
hundred
and
sixty
two
thousand
of
those
that
are
food.
G
Insecure
in
Kentucky
are
children,
so
we
are
looking
to
hopefully
both
for
any
program
that
would
help
these
programs,
so
so
House
Bill
384
would
build
upon
Kentucky's
current
momentum,
creating
stability
and
new
opportunities
for
direct
form
impact
food
access
programs
such
as
Kentucky
double
dollars,
and
it
would
pave
the
way
for
new
additional
new
efforts
that
support
the
fatality
of
Kentucky
Agriculture
and
the
health
of
kentuckians
I
do
just
want
to
point
out.
You
know
this.
G
These
programs
are
not
only
helping
our
farmers
and
our
people,
our
kentuckians,
but
it's
helping
our
economy
as
well.
Like
the
chairman
pointed
to
the
one
pager,
we
do
have
some
research
on
there
about
some
of
the
programs.
The
return
on
investment
for
Kentucky
double
dollars
was
eight
dollars
and
45
cents
to
one
dollar
that
was
done
by
aesthetic
out
of
UK,
and
it
was
very
exciting
to
see
how
great
these
programs
are
helping,
not
only
the
people
in
our
communities
but
our
economy,
our
local
economy
as
well
motion.
A
K
Thank
you
Mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill.
I
love
this
idea
and
so
you're
saying
that
you're
going
to
have
a
floor
member,
a
floor
Amendment
and
that
member
is
probably
going
to
replace.
One
of
these
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
had
any
idea,
because
I
really
like
this
list.
K
L
I
This
will
just
create
the
mechanism
in
place
because
of
this
not
being
a
budget
year.
We
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
looked
at
getting
the
mechanism
in
place
for
the
future
and.
E
L
In
in
section
four,
it
says
the
fund
would
be
monies
received
from
State
Appropriations
grants
in
federal
funds.
Have
you
given
any
file
to
adding
from
private
funds
there
may
be?
There
may
be
private
businesses?
There
are
groups
that
might
want
to
contribute.
A
H
Appreciate
you
over
here
Myron
I'm
sitting.
Where
usually
are
it's
hard
because
you
just
hear
voices
there.
We
appreciate
y'all
bringing
this
there
just
this.
Last
weekend,
over
the
last
six
years,
I've
been
helping
with
the
feed
in
Kentucky
food
distribution
down
in
Hopkinsville,
and
we
had
an
18-wheeler
filled
with
17,
pallets
and
I.
C
C
I
Everything
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Representative.
Fingers
across
the
course
says,
we're
we're
getting
light,
but
the
goal
was
to
get
have
the
have
the
bill
heard
and
if
we're
not
able
to
get
it
through
this
session,
we
will
refile
it
over
the
over
the
summer
late
summer.
Early
fall
sounds
good
to
me.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
and
we
we
had
this
conversation
in
my
office,
but
for
the
benefit
of
of
the
group.
If,
if
we
could
go
over
it
again,
I
guess
the
question
I
had
for
you
was
it's
not
necessarily
A
duplication
of
services
or
competing
with
other
agencies
that
are
already
involved
in
this?
Could
you
kind
of
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit.
G
A
L
A
So,
congratulations,
unanimous
and
we'll
see
what
happens
next
once.
I
Again,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
chairman
and
the
committee
members
I
do
miss
seeing
you
of
course,
this
year,
I'm
no
longer
on
the
AG
committee,
something
that
I've
had
been
on
for
the
last
16
years.
I
do
miss
being
able
to
spend
time
with
you,
but
I.
Think
I
will
be
a
part
of
the
committee
during
interim.
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
each
of
you
thank.
A
A
Welcome,
gentlemen,
and
and
while
you're
getting
situated,
let
me
preface
your
your
being
here
it's
this
is
a
result
of
another
meeting
we
were
in
and
there
was
several
questions
and
you
guys
had
the
opportunity
to
answer
those
questions
and
clear
up
some
things
and
I.
Ask
you
to
come
and
talk
to
our
committee
educate
us
on
some
confusion.
That's
going
on
out
there
in
the
the
AG
world
and
I'll
give
one
example.
A
One
of
the
reasons
we
had
the
meeting
we
had
a
implement
dealer
called
and
said
we
have
Parts
going
on
a
piece
of
equipment
that
are
tax
exempt,
but
the
labor
is,
you
know
there
is
being
charged
sales
tax.
So
we
ask
if
you
guys
could
clear
that
up
for
us.
So
if
you'll
introduce
yourself
for
the
record
make
sure
your
mic
is
on
the
green
button
will
be
lit
up
and
then
we'll
start
from
there.
M
N
M
Appreciate
appreciate
that
and
appreciate
our
previous
conversations
and
the
invitation
today
and
really
the
focus.
We
don't
really
have
a
presentation
today,
but
we
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
the
program
related
to
the
agricultural
exemption
number
authorizations
and
back
in
2020,
the
general
assembly
passed
Senate
Bill
148
that
didn't
change
the
exemptions
for
agricultural
Provisions
for
Farmers,
so
whatever
was
exempt
then
is
exempt
today.
M
But
the
change
was
requiring
Farmers
to
actually
pre-regate
register
and
receive
a
an
exemption
number,
and
then
there
was
another
provision
passed
and,
and
actually
last
session,
Senate
Bill
121
to
change
the
deadlines
to
give
time
for
Farmers
to
continue
to
apply
and
so
effective
January
1
of
this
year.
Farmers
are
required
in
order
to
make
purchases
that
that
qualify
for
the
that
are
provided
within
statutes
be
exempt.
They
have
to
have
this.
They
have
to
be
pre-registered
and
have
received
at
a
agricultural
exemption
number.
M
So
at
this
point,
and
really
we
started
issuing
those
numbers.
What
late
2020
I
guess
it
was
so
it's
been
going
on
now
for
over
two
years,
we've
issued
over
35
000
exemption
numbers
to
in-state
Farmers
we've
issued
over
a
thousand
numbers
to
out-of-state
Farmers
right
now
we
have
approximately
2500
applications,
but
most
of
those,
the
the
largest
percentage
of
those
applications
have
been
received
since
February
of
this
year
and
then
in
March.
So
you
know,
we
thought
by
the
first
of
January
of
this
year.
M
We'd
have
most
of
the
applications
that
we
would
have
received
them
and
have
issued
the
account
numbers,
but
we
continue
to
be
surprised
that
that
we're
getting
we're
still
getting
applications.
So
it's
a
one-page
application.
We've
got
a
process
in
place.
One
of
the
provisions
in
the
legislation
also
requires
required
us
to
set
up
an
online
search
function
so
that
that
either
the
farmer
or
the
retailer
that
is
trying
to
verify
whether
the
customer
is
registered
or
not,
can
go
online
and
do
a
search
and
verify
that
account.
So
that's
in
place.
M
We
get
applications
electronically
and
on
paper,
some
of
the
questions
we've
been
asked
and
we
talked
with
chairman
Heath
before
retailers.
Of
course,
this
is
something
new
for
the
farmers
and
the
retailers
in
most
cases,
these
these
these
customers,
the
farmers,
already
have
a
standing
business
relationship
with
these
retailers.
They
already
have
the
the
informational
file
they
have
certificates
on
files.
M
So
really
it's
a
fairly
simple
process
where
they
they
just
give
them
now
their
agricultural
exemption
number,
and
that
number
is
added
to
the
file
to
the
record
that
was
already
in
place,
but
some
have
questions
about
well.
What
does
the
farmer
have
to
provide
to
the
retailer
and
the
provision
in
the
in
the
legislation
which
is
under
139
481?
They
just
have
to
verify
or
give
them
the
number
actually
or
put
it
on
a
certificate
which
is
our
streamline
certificate.
M
They
can
use
that
certificate
or
they
can
just
give
the
number,
but
every
retailer
may
have
a
little
bit
different
procedure.
There
have
been
some
questions
about.
Does
the
retailer
have
to
get
a
copy
of
the
letter
that
we
issue
when
we
issue
the
numbers
we
issue
a
letter,
a
physical
letter
goes
out
or
by
email,
depending
on
the
circumstance
to
to
the
farmers,
and
so
some
retailers
say
they
want
to
copy
that
letter.
That
is
not
a
requirement
in
our
in
legislation.
M
That's
not
anything
that
we
require
administer
from
an
administrative
standpoint,
but
that's
an
issue
really
between
the
retailers
and
the
individual
farmers
regarding
I'll.
Let
Tim
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
out-of-state
farmers.
In
just
a
moment.
We
had
the
question
about
that,
but
in
in
regard
to
Chairman
Heath's
comment
about
repairing
a
tractor.
For
example,
the
repair
parts
are
exempt
any
labor
there.
There
is
a
in
our
in
our
statute
from
a
standpoint
of
sales
tax.
M
If
an
item
is
taxable,
is
it
subject
to
sales
tax
and
then
there's
a
charge
for
installation,
then
that
installation
charge
is
also
subject
to
sales
tax,
but
in
the
case
of
agricultural
exemptions,
these
repair
parts
are
exempt.
So
if
the
part
is
exempt,
the
installation
related
to
that
repair
is
also
exempt,
because
the
labor
any
taxability
of
the
labor
is
treated
the
same
as
the
part
itself.
So
so
that
was
a
little
bit
of
a
confusion.
So
the
answer
there.
Of
course
the
labor
is
not
taxable
and
neither
are
the
repair
parts.
J
N
As
Richard
it
said
earlier,
we
have
issued
over
a
thousand
exemption
two
out-of-state
Farmers.
Specifically,
we
know
this
is
probably
coming
into
effect.
More
in
Tennessee.
Tennessee
has
had
a
program
in
place
for
years
where
they
required
Farmers
to
register
and
Kentucky
did
not
until
January
1st
2023.
N
So
when
a
Tennessee
farmer
comes
into
the
state,
we're
making
them
get
registered
with
us
and
get
a
contact
account
number
because
Kentucky
exemptions
are
different
than
Tennessee
exemptions.
We
don't
have
the
same
laws.
They
exempt
some
things
that
we
don't
and
we
did
check
with
our
counterparts
at
the
Department
of
Revenue
in
Tennessee
and
the
Department
of
Revenue
in
North
Carolina,
and
if
a
Kentucky
resident
goes
into
their
state
and
makes
a
purchase,
they
make
them
register
with
their
state.
N
So
we
feel
like
we're
being
consistent,
treating
their
residents
the
same
way,
they're
trading
hours,
I'm
going
to
go
out
of
state
there's,
not
really
too
much
of
an
issue.
If
you
have
someone,
that's
in
you
know
making
ongoing
purchases
on
a
regular
basis.
If
they're
in
Tennessee
they're
right
across
the
border,
you
know
they're
they're
willing
to
register.
We
haven't
had
too
much
issues
about
that,
but
we
have
had
some
questions
from
people
that
are
coming
in
from
out
of
state,
maybe
for
auctions.
N
Maybe
they
don't
know
to
the
day
of
the
sale
that
they
get
up,
they
decide
they
want
to
come
in
the
state
and
they
want
to
make
a
purchase
at
an
auction
and
they
haven't
registered.
So
we
have
a
had
some
conversations
trying
to
get
some
information
out
of
the
auction
here.
We
feel
like
the
best
way
to
handle.
That
is,
you
know
if
they
know
that
they're
going
to
be
doing
an
auction
and
they
have
the
possibility
people
might
be
coming
in
from
out
of
state,
go
ahead
and
advertise
ahead
of
time.
N
But
if
they
come
here,
they're
going
to
need
to
get
the
Kentucky
number
and
have
it
ready
when
they
come
to
the
auction.
So
if
they
decide
to
make
a
purchase,
they'll
already
have
their
tax
exempt
number
but
I
think
I.
Think
that's
going
pretty
well,
I!
Think
the
again
the
retailers
understand
why
we're
doing
it
because
Tennessee
and
Kentucky
North
Carolina
Kentucky.
We
don't
all
have
the
same
exemptions.
N
M
Yes,
I
guess
the
bottom
line
there
is
that
you
know
if
you're
in
when
you're
in
Kentucky,
then
Kentucky
law
applies,
and
you
know
we're
not
treating
anybody
differently-
the
customers,
the
customer
and,
if
you're,
claiming
an
agricultural
exemption
in
Kentucky,
then
it's
our
law
and
everyone
is
treated
the
same
way.
I
would
just
go
back
and
mention
the
the
2500
applications
that
we
we
have
right
now
in
inventory
that
were
that
we're
continuing
we're
issuing
account
numbers
exemptions
every
day,
it's
a
one-page
application.
M
The
the
best
documentation
to
provide
is
for
the
farmer
to
submit
that
application
and
basic
information
about
the
address
and
so
forth,
but
also
to
include,
like
the
the
copy
of
their
schedule,
F
to
to
document
that
you
know
they
are
in
the
business
of
farming
and
if
a
complete
application
is
there,
then
it's
a.
It
is
a
very
simple
process.
Some
of
the
inventory
is
tied
to
applications
that
are
incomplete
applications
that
don't
have
documentation.
M
Regarding
you
know,
we
we
have
some
that
are
completely
New
farmers,
so
they
haven't
even
filed
a
return.
Yet
that
doesn't
mean
they're
not
eligible,
but
we
may
need
to
get
a
little
more
information
from
them
to
verify
that
so.
A
O
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
I've
got
a
question
around
when
the
law
passed
and
the
I
guess
advertisement
of
the
application
process,
because
this
is
a
new
process
at
that
time
to
Kentucky
Farmers
I'm
thinking
about
my
granddaddy
who's
91,
who
runs
400,
had
a
beef
cattle
down
in
Davis
County.
This
would
have
been
new
to
him.
So
was
there
proactive
advertisement
to
our
current
Farmers
that
they
needed
to
do
this,
and
how
did
we
advertise
that
to
them?
That's
a
good
good.
M
Question
representative,
all
I
was
looking
back.
We
do
have
a
newsletter,
a
a
a
a
a
Kentucky
sales
tax
that
goes
out
to
retailers,
so
we
did
also
talk
with
the
retail
Federation.
It
gave
them
guidance
worked
with
them.
They
provided
they
actually
Drew
up
information
to
get
posted
at
farm
supply
stores.
So
because
you
know
how
do
we
communicate
to
the
individual
Farmers?
That's
that's
a
good
question,
so
we
work
with
the
retail
Federation.
M
They
had
Flyers
that
got
posted
we've
sent
out
at
least
four
times
in
various
newsletters
that
go
out
those
go
to
retailers.
We've
worked
with
the
Farm
Bureau
Tim
worked
directly.
We
provided
the
applications.
We
have
posted
FAQs
on
our
website
that
give
links
directly
to
the
application
and
so
forth,
but
the
Farm
Bureau
went
out
and
there
are
various
meetings
over
the
course
of
the
year
working
with
various
groups.
They
they
provided
applications
Tim,
you
went
also
you
actually
physically
went.
You
want.
N
To
yeah
that
was
the
first
I
think
it
was
the
first
day
of
this
year.
First,
work
day
this
year
we
were
in
Bowling
Green
for
a
meeting
I.
Think
the
agricultural
commissioner
was
there,
and
there
was
several
people
from
the
Farm
Bureau
to
present
them
information
also
hand
out.
We
were
there
all
day
handed
out.
Applications
got
a
lot
of
questions,
so
we
have
tried
to
be
proactive
and
we
do
appreciate
the
help
from
from
the
like
I
said,
the
retail
Federation
and
the
Farm
Bureau.
O
Just
one
follow-up:
thank
you,
Mr,
chairman,
that
that's
good
that
will
cover
the
majority
of
Kentucky
Farmers.
But
if
I'm
understanding
correctly,
there
was
no
like
here's
all
the
schedule,
F's
in
Kentucky
and
no
proactive.
You
know
Statewide
mailed
communication
to
Farmers
that
this
was
now
a
requirement.
M
No,
we
didn't,
we
did
not
make
a
direct
mailing
just
to
Farmers
on
that.
We,
you
know,
mentioned
direct
mailings.
Of
course,
in
the
midst
of
all
this,
we
also
have
been
implementing
a
lot
of
other
changes
that
you
guys
have
provided
opportunities
for
us
to
do
so
so
we've
been
sending
out
a
lot
of
direct
mailings,
but
that
was
not
one
that
we
did.
M
O
Right,
well,
that's
that's!
The
origin
of
my
question.
I
mean
I,
know.
Kentucky
Farm
Bureau
has
a
big
membership,
but
it's
not
100
inclusive
and
looks
like
you
have
the
tax
records
of
everybody
who
claims
to
be
a
farmer
in
Kentucky
that
you
could
send
out
a
postcard
notice
that
this
is
something
required
for
them
to
continue
receiving
the
same
tax
exemptions
they
had
in
the
past.
O
A
F
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
thank
you
both
for
being
here
today.
I
always
appreciate
the
clarifications.
If
I
heard
correctly
so
35
000
Farmers
have
pre-registered
my
my
question
kind
of
parallels,
representative
alls
and
there
are
2500
in
the
queue
do
we
have
any
idea
how
many
we
still
need
to
pre-register
how
our?
How
are
our
efforts
going
along
those
lines.
M
We
don't
have
it,
we
don't
have
an
exact
count.
We
we
feel
like
we've
gotten.
Definitely
the
majority,
but
you
know,
like
I,
said:
we've
we're
still
a
little
bit
surprised
by
how
many
applications
we've
received
since
January,
because
you
know
officially,
as
of
January
1,
in
order
to
claim
the
exemption,
the
farmer
has
to
have
an
agricultural
exemption
number,
but
you
know
even
with
schedule
F's,
you
know
some
of
the
farmers.
You
can't
equate
that
necessarily
with
the
exact
number
there
there
may
be
multiple
partners.
M
Sometimes
they
elect
to
get
their
own
exemption
number,
but
we
do
feel
I
think
it's
we're
comfortable
in
saying
that
we
certainly
have
the
vast
majority
of
account
numbers
that
that
or
Farmers
that
qualify
for
account
numbers
that
they
have
received
the
account
I.
N
Think
when
we
started
we
estimated
about
35
000
but
but
we're
still
getting
getting
more
so
I
guess
maybe
our
estimate
was
too
low,
but
that's
what
we.
F
Just
did
a
final
comment:
if
I'm
a
session
is
winding
down,
and
most
of
us
as
legislators
will
start
talking
to
our
communities
about
what
happened
in
session.
So
maybe
we
can
include
this
if
we're
in
a
rural
area
or
think
there
are
farmers
in
attendance.
So
would
staff
have
maybe
some
links
that
we
can
share
with
folks
as
we
get
back
home
and
in
the
districts,
and
maybe
we
can
direct
people
on
the
right
path
if
they
haven't
already
done
so.
Thank
you.
Mr,
chair.
J
M
Well,
that's
a
good
question
and
what
should
that's?
Certainly
your
prerogative
as
as
legislators,
to
determine
what
may
be
exempt
or
taxable.
You
know
the
there
are
a
lot
of
exemptions,
sales
and
use
tax
exemptions
for
for
Farmers,
a
farm
machinery,
for
example
the
seed
and
there's
different
on
Farm
exemptions,
but
we
do
have
the
regulation
that
we
promulgated-
it's
that's.
It's
been
recently
revised,
but
it
does
give
an
examples
of
the
various
exemptions
in
place.
It's
it's
103,
Kar
30,
colon
091.
M
So
that
is
our
our
farm
regulation
on
it's
just
sales
to
Farmers.
It
gives
the
exemptions,
it
lists
things
that
are
taxable.
M
So
that's
that's
an
open
question,
but
all
of
the
farm
exemptions
are
also
listed
in
139
480..
That's
the
statutory
Authority
behind
the
exemptions
and
they're.
Again
there
are
a
number
of
them,
one
of
the
exemptions
for
Farmers.
We
mentioned
repair
parts.
For
example.
There
are
a
lot
of
exemptions
within
our
sales
tax
law
that
exempt
Machinery,
but
don't
exempt
repair
parts,
but
for
Farmers
they
have
a
broader
exemption.
So
in
that
regard,.
M
Well,
the
the
exemption
for
the
exemption
for
Farmers
is
listed
related
to
the
Machinery
itself,
so
it's
not
always
does
not
always
exempt
some
of
the
consumables.
That's
correct!
No.
J
So
so
I've
had
constituents.
I
know
you
guys
say
you
have
2500
in
the
queue.
What's
the
average
time,
if
you
turn
in
all
your
forms
correctly,
what
kind
of
average
time
are
you
having
for
turnover
I've?
Had
a
lot
of
people
call
me
and
say:
I
want
to
buy
a
tractor
and
I
haven't
done
this
yet
and
how
long
should
I
have
to
wait.
M
Well,
that's
a
that
is
a
fair
question
and
we
knew
we
would
get
that
question
and-
and
it
does
depend
because
our
inventory
fluctuates.
You
know
if
in
January
we
were,
you
know
if,
if
we're
trying
to
do
first
in
and
first
out
but
again
yesterday,
I
had
a
which
happens
on
the
you
know,
periodic
basis
somebody
calls
and
maybe
one
of
your
constituents
we
get.
M
We
get
the
referral,
so
I
I
send
it
down
to
our
staff
or
Tim
does
and
if
it's
a
completed
application
I
got
the
inquiry.
Yesterday
the
account
number
was
issued
this
morning.
So
we're
not.
M
You
know
encouraging
you
to
do
that,
but
if
there
is
an
application
that
has
been
in
the
queue
for
a
while,
then
please,
let
us
know
about
that,
but
the
one
in
particular,
if
I
remember
correctly,
that
it
was
submitted
on
the
8th,
the
8th
of
March,
and
we
issued
it
today
because
there
was
the
inquiry
now.
M
Normally
it's
going
to
be
a
two
to
three
week
period
and
if
it's
a
completed
application
now,
if
it's
not
a
completed
application,
then
we're
going
to
be
following
up
with
a
letter
or
an
inquiry,
an
email
and
so
there's
a
little
more
lag
time
there.
So
we've
got
again
various
very
there
are
various
factors
involved,
but
but
we
are,
there
is
a
quick
turnaround
and
most
of
the
applications
that
we
have
now
again,
as
I
said,
have
just
been
received
in
February
in
March
of
this
year.
Thank.
L
L
Does
a
person
have
to
farm
in
Kentucky
or
live
in
Kentucky,
or
do
we
honor
anyone
from
any
state
who
feels
out
a
Kentucky
exempt
and
is
qualified?
We.
N
L
E
L
And
that's
probably
a
message
we
need
to
get
out
to
because
a
lot
of
stuff's
going
on
online
they're
having
Online
Auctions
people
are
selling
all
over
the
coming
from
all
over
the
country,
so
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
of
confusion.
I
think
it
might
be
good
to
get
out
to
reinforce
with
our
implement
dealers
that
they
have
to
have
a
Kentucky
right
exemption.
N
L
Sure
if
I
could
add
one
more
question,
Mr
chairman
sure
I've
had
my
exemption
a
while
and
but
I
had
a
little
difficulty
getting
it,
because
I
voted
on
the
bill
that
offer
asked
it
back
in
2020,
so
I
knew
what
was
in
it
and
I
knew
about
the
options,
and
it
says
an
ore,
so
I
think
I
sent
in
a
schedule.
F,
but
I
got
a
letter
back
asking
me
to
send
in
the
other
two
qualifications
as
well,
so
and
and
when
Senator
Givens
came
back
with
follow-up
legislation.
N
L
H
H
A
P
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I
have
a
comment
and
a
question:
if
that's
okay,
all
righty
the
first
I'll
make
a
comment:
I,
don't
think
it's
any
secret
that
Kentucky
is
doing
tax
modernization
and
continue
to
move
forward
with
that
aggressively
and
I.
P
Think
it's
important
for
these
types
of
conversations
to
be
had
just
to
make
sure
as
we
go
through
this,
that
we
look
at
all
of
these
unintended
consequences
that
could
possibly
be
out
there
and
so
I
appreciate
this
information
and
bring
it
into
our
mind
and
with
our
colleagues
here,
as
we
are
going
to
the
budget
process
again
next
year.
Just
making
sure
that
we
look
at
this,
because
we
know
that
there
are
so
many
moving
parts
and
pieces
that
could
affect
farmers
and
their
exemptions,
and
so
I'm
committed
to
keep
doing
that.
P
And
so
I
appreciate
that
we,
you
discussed
a
little
bit
about
the
out
of
state
purchases
and
that's
something
that
I've
heard
a
lot
about
as
well
people
that
are
getting
involved
in
that
and
a
lot
of
times.
It
is
a
decision
that
happens
quickly.
They
they
decide
to
make
a
purchase
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
they're
from
out
of
state.
P
Would
it
be
plausible
and
I
know
a
lot
of
times
when
we
get
tax
money
into
the
state
we
we
don't
seem
to
want
to
have
to
give
that
back
up.
But
if
we
passed
a
law
that
would
give
a
period
of
time
so
that
if
someone
decided
to
do
business
in
the
state
of
Kentucky
that
they
would
pay
taxes
on
that,
but
it
would
give
them.
P
You
know
an
estimated
amount
of
time
or
whatever
we
set
that
to
be
so
that
they
could
go
ahead
and
file
and
get
sort
of
or
get
that
exemption
through
the
state
of
Kentucky
and
then
maybe
be
reimbursed
those
dollars.
M
M
The
retailer
would
have
to
file
an
application
with
us,
so
there
is.
There
is
a
remedy
in
place.
That's
not
the
ideal
way
to
do
it,
but
there
is
a
provision
already
a
procedure
already
in
place
to
address
I
think
what
you've
described
their
representative
and
also
the
as
far
as
out-of-state
Farmers.
You
know.
Tim
alluded
to
this
mentioned
that
we
have
talked
with
a
public
protection
cabinet
that
oversees
the
auctioneering
board,
because
that
seemed
to
be
with
Auctioneer.
So
we're
working
right
now
on
some
FAQs
to
provide
to
the
board
that
they
can.
M
P
A
Thank
you
that
got
everybody
on
the
list.
I
did
have
one
question
that
came
in
by
text
so
on
on
the
exemptions,
the
dollar
Revenue,
so
pre-qualifying.
Folks
for
exemptions
can,
can
you
see
significant
savings,
it
I
guess
we're
having
more
Revenue.
A
Now
that
individuals
have
had
to
file
for
a
number
I
know,
the
one
of
the
intent
of
the
bill
was
to
weed
out
Bad
actors,
I
spent
15
years
on
the
retail
side
of
it,
and
as
long
as
they
were
willing
to
fill
out
the
application
at
the
counter
and
put
their
driver's
license
number
or
social
security
number
on
it
and
sign
it,
we
put
it
in
a
file
and
we
traded
them
as
as
exempt.
It
was
on
the
honor
System.
Basically,
unless
they
got
caught
so
we
were
trying
to
eliminate
that
is.
M
Well,
there
is
an
increase
in
Revenue
sales.
Tax
receipts
are
up,
as
you
all
know
how
to
quantify.
That
is
a
totally
different
question,
though
anecdotally
we've
heard,
and
yes,
the
certainly
chairman
Heath,
there's
the
expectation
that
you
know
with
this
requirement
in
place.
Now
you
you
know
those
that
are
applying
are
pre-qualified.
M
So
that's
going
to
you
know,
reduce
or
you
know,
hopefully
almost
completely
eliminate.
You
know
the
false
claims,
but
there's
so
many
variables
out
there.
You
know
there
were
sales
tax
receipts
come
in
from
the
the
retailers
and
farm
suppliers,
but
we
have
multiple
changes
in
our
tax
code
that
went
into
effect
January
1..
We
also
there's
a
new
exemption,
for
example,
on
prescription
and
prescription
drugs.
M
So
that's
you
know,
that's
an
increase,
but
that's
a
decrease
specifically
that
with
that
new
exemption,
there's
an
increase
here,
but
there
are
other
variables
it
just
it
really
would
be
impossible
to
quantify
or
to
we.
We
agree
with
what
you
are
are
stating
there
as
far
as
an
overall
effect,
but
how
to
actually
quantify
that
with
an
amount
that
would
that
would
really
be
impossible.
Okay,.
A
That's
fair
and
I
forgot
about
the
extra
exemptions
that
we
Animal
Health
was
one
of
those
very
important
to
our
livestock
folks.
But
I
just
want
to
point
out
to
the
members
we've
had
this
conversation.
I
wanted
you
guys
to
come
and
share
the
information
with
all
the
committee
members,
so
we
can
go
back
to
our
districts
and
help
educate,
folks,
I'm
sure
we're
all
getting
calls
at
some
time
or
another
with
specific
questions
and
we'll
try
to
find
the
answers
to
those
and
and
help
you
guys
out.
All
we
can
thank
you
for
coming.
A
I
wanted
to
point
out
to
our
members.
This
is
our
last
thank.
