A
Everyone
and
welcome
to
our
august
meeting
a
tobacco
tobacco
settlement
agreement
fund
oversight
committee
and
before
we
begin,
I
would
like
to
ask
senator
webb
if
she
could
lead
us
in
a
prayer.
Please.
B
Be
glad
to
let
us
pray
dear
heavenly
father,
we
thank
you

this
day

being

our
colleagues
and
talking
about
things.
B
We
love
here
doing
the
people's
business
in
the
capitol,
and
we
would
ask
you
to
be
with
the
people
of
east
kentucky
as
we're
trying
to
recover
from
devastating
floods
and
remember
those
who
lost
lives,
their
families
and
and
made
their
memory
go
on,
and
even
though
we
we
appreciate
so
much
our
co-chairman,
we
it's
just
not
the
same
without
senator
embry,
so
remember
he
and
his
family
and
your
prayers,
and
I

the
right
decisions
in
jesus

A
C
I

indeed
thank
you,
mr
chair.
Today
we
are
honored
to
have
lord's
legacy
ministry
with
us
today
from
jasmine
county.
We
are
going
to
have
a
wonderful
day,
and
this
is
this
is
the
beginning
of
it,
starting
here
in
this
committee,
mr
chair,
so
my
group
and
I
can
speak
about
it
later.
How
long
is
your
commute.
A
Representative
212
miles,
I've
been
traveling
this
one
for
going
on
16
years
and
it's
a
it's
a
three-hour
trip
coming
from
west
kentucky
in
christian
county
here
to
to
frankfort.
C
A
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
enjoy
your
day
with
representative
king
we'll
next
move
on
to
approval
of
the
minutes
from
june.
Can
I
have
a
motion
on
those
minutes.
A
D
Good
morning,
chairman
committee,
brian
lacefield
executive,
director
of
the
kentucky
office
of
ag
policy,
it's
good
to
be
back
with
you
after
a
two-month
break.
We
got
several
things
to
go
over,
but
I'll
give
you
a
brief
update
on
what
all
has
been
going
on
at
the
the
office
and
some
of
our
activities.
D
Since,
since
we
last
visited
with
you
in
june,
we
have
finished
our
cape
training
now
I
know
we
we
utilize
that
acronym
a
lot
at
this
meeting,
but
just
to
remind
everybody
what
that
stands,
for
that
is
the
the
county,
agriculture
investment
program,
and
that
is
by
far
our
biggest
county
program
that
we
have
about.
85
percent
of
the
county
money
goes
into
this
menu-based
program
operated
last
year
in
96
of
our
counties,
so
we
do
annual
trainings
for
our
administrators
and
our
extension
partners.
D
With
with
this
program,
we
did
eight
across
the
state
two
in
western
kentucky,
two
in
eastern
kentucky,
two
in
central
kentucky
and
two
virtual.
So
we
were
able
to
give
everybody
multiple
opportunities
to
attend
one
of
these
and
had
well
over
200
that
participated,
so
they
were
very,
very
successful
and
it
was
good
to
be
back
out
in
person
doing
these
these
meetings
finishing
that
we
we
had
an
opportunity
again
for
additional
outreach
at
the
kentucky
association
of
conservation
districts
outside
of
extension.
D
Our
conservation
districts
are
our
second
biggest
partner
group
that
we
have
in
the
delivery
of
our
our
programs
across
the
state
and
they
have
an
annual
meeting
every
year
in
various
parts
of
the
state.
This
one
was
in
was
in
bowling
green
and
we
had
an
opportunity
this
year.
Their
leadership
asked
that
we
do
a
breakout
session
to
talk
about
more
of
our
programs
and
and
loans
that
we
have
in
more
detail
proud
to
report.
D
We
had
two
two
packed
room
standing
room
only
representative
king-
I
I
don't
usually
get
a
standing
room
only
for
when
you're
talking
about
ag
policy,
so
I
was
really
pleased
to
see
that
crowd
and
and
the
level
of
interest
that
we
had
also
a
chance
to
involve
several
of
my
my
team
members
that
were
able
to
be
part
of
this
meeting
and
present
then
also
presented
to
their
general
session
joining
us
at
the
podium
with
commissioner
quarles
and
fsa
state
director,
dean
schmore
and
our
state
conservationist,
with
nrcs
greg
stone,
so
always
a
great
chance
to
get
the
other
leadership
in
kentucky
agriculture.
D
Together
and
visit
july,
we
had
a
joint
board
meeting,
bringing
together
both
the
ag,
finance
and
ag
development
board.
We
tried
to
do
that
at
least
twice
in
the
year,
so
we
can
travel
see
some
of
the
projects.
This
one
simply
became
because
of
scheduling
conflicts.
Senator
webb
we
had.
We
had
deputy
executive
director
mccloskey
continuing
our
international
work
for
our
program
with
a
trip
to
to
italy.
I
was
surprised
we
did
not
have
an
application
when
he
came
back
he's,
usually
so
good
at
at
recruiting.
D
But
it
was
a
good
chance
anytime.
We
can
get
both
of
our
boards
together
to
a
12
on
one
and
18
on
the
or
60
on
the
other.
You
have
28
different
board
members,
just
a
true
synergy
that
has
gotten
with
so
many
ag.
D
Leaders
from
from
across
the
state
so
always
enjoy
joy,
those
our
next
one
will
be
in
in
november
and
invite
any
any
members
of
the
of
the
committee
or
or
staff
to
join
us
on
our
our
tours,
we'll
be
spending
one
day,
touring
projects
in
southeast
kentucky
and
and
then
we'll
be
meeting
on
the
following
or
the
next
friday.
D
I
had
a
good
opportunity
to
to
showcase
some
of
our
programs
that
we
have,
with
a
u.s
congressional
testimony
last
month,
congressman
comer,
who
serves
as
the
ranking
member
on
the
oversight
committee
reached
out
to
me.
Their
subcommittee
on
environment
was
having
a
hearing
on
regenerative
agriculture,
and
I
was
able
to
to
be
the
the
minority
parties
witness
for
this.
This
hearing
and
I
use
it
as
a
chance
to
showcase
a
lot
of
what
we
do
with
with
both
senator
westerfield
and
representative
dawson
they're.
D
That
gives
the
producer
a
little
more
confidence
to
try
something
new
on
their
farm
and
then
see
the
benefits
and
continue
the
practice.
On
I
think
you
can
look
back
over
the
last
22
years
and
look
in
in
several
of
our
big
programs
with
our
with
our
one
with
beef
cattle
genetics,
what
we've
done
there
with
forage
quality
with
technology
and
see
the
results
of
this
program
over
the
years.
So
that
was
the
the
basis
of
my
testimony
and
it
was
a
good
experience
to
get
to
do
that.
D
The
third
week
in
july
is
always
my
travel
kentucky
week
I
started.
I
started
off
with
senator
webb
and
greenup
county
at
kentucky's
biggest
farm
to
table
event.
They.
They
have
been
doing
this
four
years
now
in
greenup
county
and
have
taken
this
event
to
the
first
year.
They
were
hoping
to
sell
200
tickets.
D
They
had
over
800
this
year
at
the
the
event,
and
there
were
folks
literally
from
across
kentucky
they're
attending,
but
the
big
takeaway
beyond
the
the
awareness
that
you're
driving
for
agriculture
was
the
money
that
they
raised
for
their
two
agriculture.
Youth
programs
with
4-h
and
ffa
over
40
000
was
raised
that
night
for
what
they
were
doing
so
proud
to
do
that.
D
It
always
end
up
in
far
western
kentucky
shortly
thereafter
for
the
waves
ag
day
that
we
have
a
rotate
usually
rotates
around
on
our
far
western
four
counties
with
with
ballard
carlisle,
hickman
and
fulton,
and
they
work
together
in
an
economic
development
unit
to
promote
their
their
river
and
and
develo
economic
development
in
the
area
and
have
a
have
an
ag
day,
always
in
the
summer,
they've
expanded
that
now
to
starting
a
leadership
program,
and
so
I
was
able
to
join
tony
brannon
and
some
of
the
members
of
congressman
comer's
team
to
talk
on
a
panel
to
this.
D
This
group
about
different
opportunities
in
agriculture
and
in
leadership
was
great
to
do
that.
I
also
took
bill
and
our
two
summer
interns
with
me,
and
we
worked
in
as
many
stops
as
we
could
traveling
over
750
miles.
So
your
group,
we
can
talk
more
about
these
commutes
representative
king,
on
on
what
you
see
when
you
start
driving
across
kentucky
and
and
how
big
a
state
that
we
are
but
made
11
different
stops
in
there,
and
I
want
to
share
one
since
you
all
know
bill
so
well.
D
We
stopped
at
a
watermelon
farm
in
davis
county
and
they
were
raising
over
400
acres
of
watermelon,
and
that
is
an
intense
process
and
and
bill
had
a
chance
to
get
on
the
line
as
they
were
cleaning
the
watermelons.
They
were
coming
off
the
field,
and
so
he
took
on
and
if
anybody
has
ever
seen
the
I
love
lucy
episode
where
lucy
is
working
on
the
factory
and
you
watch
the
candy
coming
on.
D
That
is
what
bill
looked
like
as
he
was
handling
the
watermelon
on
what
he
was
doing
for
that
one
of
our
additional
partners.
So
I
keep
talking
about
our
partners
with
extension
partners
with
conservation.
Another
huge
partner
that
we
have
is
the
kcard
organization,
the
kentucky
center
for
agriculture
and
rural
development.
It's
an
agency
that
we
fund
and
it's
an
agency
that
we
partner
with
with
as
many
applications
as
we
take.
We.
D
We
have
a
resource
with
this
program
to
where
we
can
refer
them
to
where
they
can
work
with
an
applicant
help
them
develop
a
business
plan
put
together
cash
flows
and
kind
of
navigate
and
shepherd
them
through
the
application
process.
I
serve
on
their
board
as
an
ex
officio
board
member
from
from
my
position
here
and
their
executive
director,
elita
botts
has
announced
her
her
resignation,
and
so
we
are
currently
seeking
a
new
executive
director
that
job
is
now
posted
will
run
throughout
august.
D
We've
got
an
exceptional
team
there
that
she
manages
and
will
be
able
to
continue
on,
but
are
looking
to
get
the
right
person
back
in
there
for
for
leadership.
So
I
mentioned
that
to
make
you
all
aware
of
that
that
vacancy
was
back
down
in
western
kentucky
again
the
following
week
to
go
to
a
ribbon
cutting
on
one
of
our
new
meat
processing
facilities,
farmstead
butcher,
block
cliff
and
carol
welch
in
muhlenberg
county
cut
the
ribbon
on
their
state-of-the-art
facility.
It's
a
couple
million
dollar
facility.
D
We
have
there,
and
this
is
one
of
our
two-
that
our
startups
were
complete
startups
from
from
where
we're
at,
I
guess,
complete
new
construction,
the
other
one
was
there
in
greenup
county.
So
we
they
they
both
opened
soft
openings
in
may,
but
the
official
ribbon
cutting
was
was
last
month,
but
this
one
we
had
a
quick
tour
and
plan
to
go
back
and
look
at
that
again.
It
again
beautiful
facility
with
with
custom
processing,
usda
inspection
and
having
a
retail
front
as
well
kentucky
ag
finance.
D
We
work
with
commercial
lenders,
members
of
our
farm
credit
system,
area,
development,
districts
and
partner
with
them
on
doing
doing
low
interest
loans,
with
the
drive,
with
an
emphasis
on
beginning
farmer
and
keeping
capital
moving
in
in
rural
america,
rural
kentucky,
but
we
loan
all
of
our
funds
out
at
a
fixed
rate
and
and
as
we're
seeing
interest
rates.
Moving
up
we're
seeing
increased
interest
in
this
program
and.
C
D
Loan
programs
for
beginning
farmers,
where
you
can
buy
your
first
farm,
you
can
buy
into
an
existing
operation
and
that's
a
big
percentage
of
our
portfolio,
but
we
also
have
loan
programs
with
infrastructure
with
with
processing
with
agribusinesses
and
veterinary
medicine,
and
so
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
in
all
these
across
the
board,
because
our
our
rates
have
been
fixed.
We
don't
have
to
look
at
the
10-year
treasury,
like
I
used
to
every
day
as
a
as
an
old
banker.
D
Our
rates
have
always
been
two
percent,
and
then
we
allow
our
participating
lender
and
we
capped
this
to
have
a
servicing
fee
of
three
quarters
of
a
percent
or
75
basis
points.
So
the
cost
of
the
the
participant
for
their
part
of
the
loan
that
they
participate
with
us
is
a
fixed
2.75
interest
rate
and
that
can
be
fixed
up
to
15
years.
So
as
rates
continue
to
go
up,
this
is
we'll
see
more
interest
for
about
the
first
year
that
I
was
in
this
position.
D
We
were
seeing
about
a
million
dollars
in
in
new
requests
coming
in
each
month
and
we
had
about
a
million
dollars
coming
back.
In
return
of
principal
and
interest
each
month,
so
we
were
self-funding
all
the
the
new
obligations
as
they
were
going
out
the
door
we've
now.
The
last
two
months
have
seen
this
increase
to
two
million
dollars.
So
we
anticipate
this
to
continue
to
grow.
D
D
As
I
tell
you
about
how
I've
been
traveling
kentucky
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
I
will
be
at
one
place
and
kentucky
will
be
coming
to
to
see
to
see
us
so
get
a
chance
to
stop
in
aglan,
while
you're
over
there
you'll
see
see
me
and
a
large
number
of
my
staff
there
working
and
I'll
stop
now
and
turn
it
over
to
bill,
and
he
can
update
you
on
some
of
the
the
projects
from
the
last
two
months.
E
E
The
cape
program,
almost
three
million
dollars
in
14
counties
and
as
director
lacefield
mentioned,
the
county
allocation
this
year
for
2022
off
the
math
summer
is
19
million
dollars
and
85
percent
of
that
will
be
invested
county
money.
19
million
will
be
invested
in
the
cape
program,
for
the
various
reasons
that
director
lacefield
mentioned
earlier
also
would
also
would.
D
E
That
for
every
applicant
that
receives
no
more
than
five
thousand
dollars,
the
maximum
they
can
receive
is
five
thousand
dollars
in
the
in
the
cape
program.
They
have
to
attend
an
educational
program,
so
we
talk
about
700
million
dollars
invested
in
county
and
state
funds
are
obviously
the
tangible
part
of
it.
E
Then,
under
deceased
farm
animal
removal
we
have
three
applications
approved
for
forty
one
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars
and
then
the
youth
program,
brethren
county
and
nicholas
county
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
we're
going
to
present
some
counties
that
operate
their
own
youth
program
later
on
jessamine,
county
and
davis
county.
But
the
ag
development
board
staff
developed
a
structured
youth
program
back
in
2016
it's
over
since
that
time.
We're
seeing
more
counties
utilize
this
program
last
year,
32
counties,
utilize
county
money
to
provide
cost
share
programs
for
youth
across
the
state
page.
E
Moving
on
to
page
two
we've
got
amendments,
so
you
can
see
that
whitley
county
added
additional
three
thousand
dollars
to
their
cape
program
to
bring
the
total
thirty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
six
dollars
and
for
your
information.
Their
allocation
for
2022
was
just
thirty
six
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
one
dollars
so
most
of
their
cape
money
or
most
of
their
county
money
is
allocated
to
the
cape
program.
Owsley
county.
Their
total
allocation
for
2022
was
160
568
dollars
and
you
can
see
the
they
were
recently
approved.
E
They
were
originally
approved
for
155
000,
now
they're
going
to
add
122
500,
so
the
cape
program
to
bring
it
to
277
thousand
and
500,
so
obviously
they're
rolling
money.
Over
from
previous
allocations,
lee
county,
their
total
allocation
for
2022
was
52
277
dollars.
So
they're
going
to
add
40
000
to
the
50,
fifty
thousand
originally
approved
to
bring
it
to
ninety
thousand
dollars
again
counties
rolling
money
over
some
in
some
situations.
E
Counties
will
only
offer
a
cape
program
every
other
year,
where
again
they're
rolling
their
money
over
to
the
next
year,
where
they
can
offer
more
money
at
one
time
and
then
page
three
we
see
washington
county
has
made
amendment
to
their
cape
program,
127
500,
bringing
a
total
of
268
hundred
dollars
and
then
the
youth
program.
They
request
an
additional
ten
thousand
dollars.
Obviously,
after
the
they,
they
were
able
to
measure
the
demand
they
knew
they
needed
additional
funds.
E
Moving
on
to
page
four,
the
june
meeting
we'll
give
you
an
update
on
the
on-farm
energy
incentives
program.
So
we
have
quarterly
application
deadlines.
You
can
see.
Nine
applications
were
approved
for
a
total
of
eighty
two
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
to
be
eligible.
The
farmer
would
have
to
be
purchasing
equipment
or
technology
that
would
result
in
energy
savings
verified
by
a
professional
engineer.
E
We
could
work
closely
with
the
university
of
kentucky
that
will
evaluate
the
the
project
that
the
farmer
producer
plans
to
implement
to
measure
what
the
savings
gonna
be
based
on
the
new
new
project
and
if
it
has
a
payback
of
less
than
25
years,
then
it's
eligible
for
funding.
So
if
you
look
at
the
first
project
in
breckenridge
county,
that's
going
to
be
a
major
produce
operator
is
going
to
upgrade
their
their
walk-in
freezer
and
cooler,
which
obviously
is
important
as
part
of
a
produce
operation.
E
The
next
project
representative
dosset,
is
in
christian
county,
so
they're
going
to
update
their
poultry
operation,
be
insulation
in
on
their
tunnel
doors.
Larue
county
is
also
going
to
be
making
upgrades
in
this
in
their
on
their
operation
of
processing,
produce
they're,
at
least
plant
farms,
and
that's
going
to
be
solar
panels.
So
we
see
a
lot
of
interest
in
solar
panels.
E
To
give
you
an
idea,
what
kind
of
projects
are
being
funded
with
the
on-farm
energy
program?
Page
five?
We
have
one
of
the
applicants
approved
for
the
on-farm
water
small-scale
grant
program
in
laurel
county.
So
this
is
a
program
designed
to
help
farmers
that
would
be
improving
or
do
a
better
job
with
water
resource
management.
This
is
a
poultry
operation,
so
it's
going
to
be
irrigation
system.
They
were
approved
for
ten
thousand
dollars
and
then
moving
into
projects
we're
on
page
six
davis,
county
conservation
district.
E
They
have
a
separate
youth
program
or
separate
from
the
guideline
program
approved
by
the
board.
So
it's
twenty
thousand
dollars
they're
going
to
limit
the
use
to
1
250
in
the
youth
program
adopted
by
the
state.
The
maximum
is
1500,
but
that
all
has
to
be
on
a
pro-rated
basis
and
this
this
project
is
different
and
they
they
score
the
applicants
and
so
the
higher
highest
scored
applicants
are
are
awarded
the
funds
and
their
application
indicated.
They've
been
doing
this
for
a
number
of
years.
E
Total
investment
through
the
davis
county
conservation
district
youth
program
has
been
300
thousand
dollars.
I
have
reached
payout
of
857
dollars
to
use
in
davis
county
moving
on
to
page
seven
staying
with
davis,
county
4-h
council
they're
approved
for
1036
dollars
in
davis,
county
funds
to
purchase
livestock-based
learning
labs.
E
Next,
moving
on
to
number
page
number,
eight,
so
jefferson,
gesselman
county,
they
operate
their
own
approach
to
the
youth
program.
The
individual
has
been
involved
in
this
is
carl
weights
and
since
2001
representative
kings
is
acting
like
she's,
aware
of
carl
weights,
he's
quite
a
colorful
color
character.
I
would
I
would
say,
but
really
has
a
passion
for
agriculture
and
administering
these
programs
and
help
helping
the
youth.
E
E
We
hope
these
type
of
funded
projects
directory
lace
field
that
we
never
see
use.
We
get,
we
get
a
report
and
say
got
a
bunch
of
goose
eggs
on
it.
So
next
is
moving
on
to
page
10,
so
we've
got
goldie
meets
in
crittenton
county.
E
They
were
approved
for
twenty
nine
in
county
and
state
money
monies
to
update
their
refrigeration
system
in
their
newly
purchased
building,
so
they've
been
they
were
funded
or
approved
in
2021
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
upgrade
their
meat
handling
and
grinding
facility
in
their
shop
that
they
operated
on
adjacent
to
their
resident
in
clinton
and
county.
So
business
is
doing
well,
so
they
have
purchased
working
with
their
lender,
a
ten
thousand
square
foot
building
there
in
crittenton
county,
where
they
plan
to
expand
their
operation.
E
Next,
we
have
page
11,
edmar
farms,
it's
the
lone
dairy
operation
in
kenton
county
robert
representative
roberts.
They
requested
85
446
dollars
in
county
and
state
funds
to
re,
relocate
and
expand
a
bar,
a
bar
and
infrastructure
to
their
dairy
operation.
So
they
have
a
robotic
milk
in
operation.
I
think
the
applicant
is
eddie.
Gibson
was
the
first
robotic
milker
introduced
into
kentucky
several
years
ago.
We
helped
him
finance
it
using
the
kentuckian
finance
corporation
working
with
his
local
lender
with
farm
credit.
E
I
think
we
have
now
maybe
six
robotic
milkers
in
the
state
and
we've.
I
think
we've
helped
finance
all
of
them,
except
one
through
the
kentucky
agriculture
finance
corporation.
So
the
the
board
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
project
and
ultimately,
they
limited
it
to
just
county
money,
because
it's
just
going
to
impact
one
producer
and
that's
eddie
gibson,
and
when,
when
the
board
looks
at
a
project
to
request
state
money,
they're
looking
for
multi-producer
multi-county
impact
before
they'll,
look
at
invest
in
state
money.
So
they
limit
this
to
county
money.
E
The
kenton
county
county
council
county
agricultural
development
council
did
commit
five
thousand
dollars
to
this
project.
He
did
make
a
request
through
the
kentucky
finance
corporation,
that
director
lacefield
mentioned
earlier,
working
with
lender
farm
credit,
so
he
has
been
approved
for
seventy
six
thousand
eight
hundred
ninety
five
dollars
in
the
low
interest
money
at
two
and
three
quarters.
E
Page
11.,
all
right.
Next,
going
to
page
12.,
we've
got
the
meade
county.
Fair
was
approved
for
27
000
in
county
money,
construct
a
new,
multi-species
and
covered
wash
rack
there
at
the
meade
county
fairgrounds,
and
you
can
see
the
matching
dollars
is
coming
from
cecilia
bank
and
some
private
funds
that
they
plan
to
use
to
be
able
to
complete
the
project.
E
She
graduated
from
auburn
university
and
we've
all
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
need
for
large
animal
practitioners,
so
we
always
get
excited
when
we
get
a
request
to
help
service
or
increase
the
service
for
a
large
food
animal
veterinarian
service.
So
this
young
lady,
again
graduated
from
auburn
2017,
worked
for
four
years
at
a
veterinarian
business
in
our
clinic
in
glasgow
and
then
decided
to
come
back
to
her
home
county
of
wayne
county,
and
you
can
see
that
the
county
council
supported
the
request
to
purchase
cattle
handling
facilities
there.
E
That
will
be
located
on
the
premises
of
her
clinic
in
downtown
monticello,
so
that'll,
better
utilize.
Her
services,
I
think,
she's
the
only
veterinarian,
at
least
large
animal
veterinarian
there
in
wayne
county,
so
she
can
now
just
walk
out
the
back
door
and
be
able
to
practice
large
amount
of
practice
practice
or
services
there
on
the
premises
where
cattle
producers,
livestock
producers
can
bring
animals
there,
and
then
she
can.
E
She
can
apply
her
practice
without
having
to
travel
outside
the
office,
so
that
commitment
of
nine
thousand
five
hundred
dollars-
and
you
can
see
looking
at
the
support
from
the
wayne
county,
cattlemen's
association
wayne
county
farm
bureau.
In
addition,
dr
sullivan,
is
also
going
to
provide
7
500
to
make
this
happen.
E
Okay,
moving
on
to
page
14,
so
we
have
trackside
butcher
shop,
you're,
probably
familiar
with
this
project,
currently
operating
in
henry
county,
they're,
processing,
65,
beef
and
50
to
20
hogs
a
week
they
have
requested
are
working
on
a
new
project
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
upgrade
their
facility
increase
their
processing
capacity,
specifically
with
their
cooler,
refrigeration,
cooler
system.
E
You
know
we'll
compliment
the
young
men
that
are
involved
in
this
project.
They
are
willing
when
we
work
with
other
meat,
processors
or
startup
meat
processors.
When
we've
got
new
applications
from
applicants,
looking
to
establish
or
start
up
a
business,
oftentimes
they'll
say
when
we
ask
where's
your
experience
that
we've
been
working
up
at
trackside.
They
allow
them
to
come
in
and
work
with
them
to
help
them.
Learn.
Learn
more
about
the
business,
so
they've
been
they've
been
great
in
supporting
the
meat
processing
industry
by
allowing
startup
businesses
to
come
in
and
work
with
them.
E
E
In
light
of
the
fact
that
the
ag
development
board
in
recent
last
couple
of
years
has
invested
over
seven
million
dollars
in
40
meat
processors
across
the
state,
which
is
half
of
the
meat
processors
that
we've
been
identified,
providing
meat
processing
serving
states
so
about
80
meat
processors,
usda
inspected,
providing
custom
or
usda
inspected
services
where
they
can
sell
resale
have
been
supported
by
the
ag
development
board.
E
Food
safety,
although
uk,
can
help
in
a
very
limited
amount.
Dr
craig
renfro.
The
board
sees
a
need
for
be
able
to
increase
these
kind
of
services
and
have
an
association
that
represents
the
80
plus
meat
processors.
In
the
state,
so
they
were
approved
for
ninety
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
dollars
to
be
able
to
hire
some
part-time
staff
and
the
board
of
directors
will
be
meet.
E
Well,
several
of
the
meat
processing
business
that
are
involved
in
in
this
association
are
also
members
of
other
state
association,
national
association
and
a
lot
of
those
are
funded
through
dues
and
through
sponsorships
of
companies
that
provide
equipment,
for
example.
So
there
is
the
expectation
that
they
will
be
able
to
generate
income
or
revenue
in
the
future,
but
this
has
helped
jump
start
this
organization
that
we
that
the
board
felt
like
was
needed
to
be
able
to
represent
these
80
plus
meat
processors
across
the
state.
D
Yeah
you
can
echo
that
the
sustainability
of
the
of
all
the
businesses
is
so
important.
That's
why
the
board
deviated
from
their
normal
50
match
to
go
ahead
and
fully
fund
this
on
the
front
end
to
get
it
started
with
that
expectation
that
they
will
now
use
these
these
first
couple
of
years
to
get
started
to
figure
out.
This
will
not
be
supported
just
by
association
membership
dues.
It
will
take
corporate
participation.
B
E
All
right,
moving
on
to
page
six,
staying
with
the
meat
processing
theme,
we've
got
green
river
meats,
llc
it
requested
and
was
approved
for
state
ag
development
funds
and
any
county
funds
and
get
committed
to
the
project.
So
this
is
a
2.2
million
dollar
startup
meat
processing
that
when
they
submitted
the
application,
the
plan
was
to
locate
in
greensburg.
It's
actually
going
to
be
located
in
taylor
county
on
a
farm
owned
by
one
of
the
applicants.
So
the
two
applicants
are
dr
randy
smoot.
E
He's
a
dentist
in
taylor
county
interesting
that
his
career
started
with
a
degree
in
agriculture,
worked
for
southern
states,
a
couple
of
years,
representative
dawson
and
then
decided
to
go
back
to
dental
school
and
then
he'd
been
a
practicing
dentist
for
several
years.
He
is
offering
several
farms
as
collateral
for
the
for
the
loan.
So
you
can
see
the
breakdown
is
250
000
from
ag
development
funds.
E
That's
been
the
limit
that
the
ag
development
board
has
provided
and
a
forgivable
loan
for
meat
processors
and
then
any
county
money
that
they
can
get
committed
to
the
project.
In
this
case,
they're
going
to
be
requesting
210
000
and
then
the
ag
finance
corporation
did
approve
750
000
to
support
this
project
working
with
the
citizens,
bank
and
trust
company
in
taylor
county,
and
then
there
is
another.
A
partner
in
this
tim
jeffries
was
a
full-time.
E
A
farmer
will
be
working
with
dr
smoot
to
establish
and
launch
this
business,
and
that
concludes
the
june
board
meetings.
Page
17-18
is
the
press
release.
E
What
I
think
is
significant
about
that.
You
know
previous
generations.
We
worked
in
the
tobacco
fields
now
we're
trying
to
introduce
them
to
horticulture
production
and
one
way
to
do
that
is
providing
or
making
investment
in
greenhouse
here
at
the
high
school.
So
this
brings
over
50
greenhouses
that
have
been
supported
with
ag
development
funds
that
you
all
support
across
the
across
the
state
in
grade
schools
and
high
schools,
and
then
next
we're
on
to
page
six
so
university
of
kentucky
research
foundation.
E
They
were
approved
for
three
hundred
fifty
two
thousand
one
hundred
forty
five
dollars
in
state
funds
to
continue
their
two
years
two
year,
funding
to
support
the
viticulturalist
and
enologist
program
and
all
just
being
the
wine
making
specialist.
So
one
of
the
first
studies
that
the
ag
development
board
commissioned
was
a
evaluation
of
the
potential
for
grape
production
and
wine
production
in
the
state
as
well
as
all
that
study,
they
said
you
need
to
have
technical
support
out
there
and
that
needs
to
be.
E
You
need
to
have
a
viticulturalist
and
enologist
working
at
your
land
grant
university.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
ag
development
board
representative
brown
continues
to
support
uk
in
this
research.
Now
we've
had
mixed
results
on
that
right
now,
there's
a
challenge:
it's
growing
grapes,
it's
it's
very
labor-intensive!
E
We
grapes
are
susceptible
to
a
cold
freeze
in
kentucky
every
ten
years.
That's
one
of
the
projects
that
uk
is
working
on
on
the
great
production
is
trying
to
develop
varieties
that
will
be
hardy
in
kentucky,
so
the
production
has
been
fairly
flat
here.
At
200
acres
of
grapes,
we've
seen
an
increase
in
the
number
of
wineries.
E
Uk
reports.
There's
seven
wineries
here
in
the
state
of
kentucky
utilizing
some
of
those
grapes,
but
the
business
model
of
a
winery
is
you
want
to
have
a
different,
a
product
mix
of
wines
when
a
car
load
of
tourists
show
up?
Maybe
everyone
in
the
car
wants
a
different,
different
variety
of
wine.
You
can't
grow.
E
A
Yes,
senator
webb.
I.
B
Couldn't
help
but
think
about
when
you're
talking
about
elliott
county,
you
know
they
still
have
the
tobacco
festival
to
honor
their
heritage,
but
I
think
it's
duly
noted
that
the
diversification
has
certainly
helped
that
area.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
both
very
much
brian.
Do
please
keep
us
informed
on,
as
you
mentioned,
the
the
loan
program.
I
know
we
were
having
a
conversation
earlier
looking
across
the
state
at
what
our
crop
yields.
What
the
potentials
are
here
over.
This
fall
due
to
the
weather
that
we're
experiencing
across
the
whole
commonwealth,
but
do
keep
us
informed
on
that
of
how
that
loan
program
is
working.
A
F
A
Party
yep,
before
we
begin,
please
introduce
yourself.
F
All
right,
martin
richards,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
community
farm
alliance,
as
I
was
saying,
national
farmers
market
week
this
week,
so
we've
been
pretty
busy
and
commissioner
quarles
and
I
kicked
it
off
tuesday
night
at
berea
farmers
market,
commissioner,
signed
a
declaration
from
department
of
agriculture
noting
the
week
and
as
we
speak,
the
lieutenant
governor
is
at
new
american
farmers
market
in
louisville,
with
cfa
staff,
also
presenting
the
governor's
proclamation
for
for
this
week
and
I've
got
staff.
F
I
don't
know
how
many
markets
we're
visiting
so
many
markets
this
week,
including,
I
think
kimmy.
You
and
I
are
friday-
we're
here
in
franklin,
county
farmers
market
anyway.
F
So
let
me
go
back
for
a
minute.
I'm
I'm
going
to
mention.
Three
of
these
three
programs
of
ours
are
all
kind
of
connected
ag
development
tobacco
settlement
funds
are
fun.
Are
our
funding
the
farmers
market
support
program
as
well
as
kentucky
double
dollars?
The
fresh
rx
for
moms
program
is
funded
exclusively
right
now
through
usda.
F
So
again,
as
I've
presented
each
year,
you
know
we
have
three
goals
for
these
programs:
increasing
income
for
kentucky
farmers,
increasing
ass,
increasing
access
to
healthy
food
for
folks
and
to
leverage
these
federal
dollars
that
are
coming
into
our
state
and
getting
them
circulated
in
our
local
economies.
F
So
again,
the
three
programs
today
farmer's
market
program
was
the
first
one
that
we
rolled
out
eight
years
ago.
Shortly
after
that,
we
started
the
double
dollars
program
for
that
both
of
those
have
continued
to
grow.
As
again,
eight
years
ago,
we
started
at
six
farmers
markets
in
eastern
kentucky
and,
and
today
we
have
double
dollars
at
over
70
outlets
across
the
state,
the
fresh
rx
program.
F
We
start
as
kind
of
an
outgrowth
of
that
work,
and
we
piloted
that
three
years
ago,
at
community
farmers
market
in
bowling
green
with
well
care,
and
then
we
got
a
usda
grant
and
now
that
is
at
11
farmers
markets.
So
you
know
it
is
to
really
get
the
next
generation
started
off
as
healthy
as
healthy
as
we
can
getting
the
moms
as
good
a
nutrition
as
we
can
for
them.
We're
excited
about
that
program
and
then
just
some
of
the
impacts.
Again.
F
This
is
from
last
year
for
the
farmers
market
support
program.
You
know:
marketing,
support
the
capital,
support
for
markets
that
and
is
primarily
funded
through
ag
development
funds.
But
during
covet
we
got
a
number
of
private
foundations
that
also
kicked
in
money
to
help
the
farmers
markets
to
be
a
safe
place
for
people
to
shop,
especially
for
moms
and
seniors,
and
folks
like
that
and
as
well
as
technical
assistance
for
we
every
year.
F
All
the
markets
provide
us
with
their
annual
reports
and
we
like
to
get
quotes
right
from
the
people
underground.
A
couple
quotes
here
and
I
think
that
henry
henry
clay
county
farmers
market
is
actually
they're
one
of
the
markets
who
are
being
affected
by
the
flooding
right
now
and
I
think
they
have
shut
down
for
the
year.
F
F
So
kentucky
double
dollars
again,
it
is
actually
four
incentive
programs,
so
doubling
up
the
wic
farmers
market
nutrition
program,
vouchers
that
folks
get
as
well
as
the
senior
vouchers
and
then
snap
fruits
and
vegetables
for
snap
participants,
and
then
the
snap
meets
egg
and
dairy.
So
I
mean
we
feel-
and
you
know
we're
a
cattle
state
too
right.
I
think
healthy
protein
is
an
important
part
of
our
diet.
F
So
that's
why
you
know
we
include
the
meat,
eggs
and
dairy
to
make
it
available
for
for
snap
folks
and
tobacco
master
tobacco
settlement
funds
support
the
wic,
the
seniors
and
the
snap
meet
eggs
and
dairy.
F
F
I'm
really
excited
about
what
can
happen
there
and
and
expanding
that
retail
component
across
the
state.
Just
some
graphs
to
just
give
an
idea
how
much
this
double
dollar
program
has
grown,
especially
during
the
pandemic.
It
grew
a
lot
for
again.
F
I
think
you
know
some
grocery
stores
were
struggling
with
that
long
tail
supply
chain
and
the
federal
government
pushed
out
more
monies
through
the
pebt
program
of
which
we
also
accepted
in
in
double
dollars
and
and
that
graph
right
there
redemptions
kind
of
shows
that
beginning
last
year,
beginning
2020
through
last
year.
F
So
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
the
numbers
about
ag
development
funding
and
that
return
on
investment
again
ag
development
has
funded.
For
I
think
how
long
has
it
been
bill?
It's
quite
I'm
asking
him
a
cipher
in
his
head
too.
So,
but
it's
been
probably
since
2016.
F
I
would
guess
that
ag
development
has
supported
his
program,
especially
the
market
manager
cost
share,
which
really
supports,
especially
the
small
markets,
the
rural
markets,
a
market
manager
that
makes
all
the
difference
in
the
world,
and
I
think
that
we
had
those
quotes
a
couple
slides
back
that
that
shows
that
but
ag
development
you
know
last
year
kicked
in.
You
know
a
little
over
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars.
F
We
also
raised
an
additional
thirty
two
thousand
dollars
from
private
funders
and
then
it's
a
match
program
a
one-to-one,
so
the
market's
kicking
a
match,
and
so
overall
ninety
one
thousand
dollars
was
leveraged
through
the
ag
development
investment,
and
then
uk
citic
has
has
done
the
economic
multiplier
calculations
for
us.
F
So
so
all
told
I
mean
I
think,
over
seven
seven
to
one
return
on
investment
from
ag
development
funds
for
for
this
cost
share
program
and
then
kind
of
similar
analysis
for
the
kentucky
double
dollars
as
well
ag
development
last
year
supported
with
a
little
over
96
000.
F
You
know
almost
twice
that
through
other
funding
and
and
then
you
know,
the
the
double
dollars
were
again,
you
know
doubled
up
the
federal
food
nutrition
program
dollars
for
that
you
know,
but
all
in
told
you
know
was
over
800
000
in
economic
impact
through
this
program
and
an
even
better
return
on
investment.
For
that
and
again,
when
you
combine
the
two
overall,
I
think
it's
from
my
perspective
anyway.
I
think
it's
pretty
good
return
on
investment
for
these
master
tobacco
settlement
funds.
F
This
this
slide
is
also
hard
to
see,
but
I
wanted
to
show
that
the
usda
released
this.
So
in
2013
there
was
only
55
kentucky
farmers
markets
who
accepted
snap
by
2020.
It
had
risen
to
80
markets,
and
that
was
you
know,
a
significant
increase
in
there,
as
well
as
redemption
of
snap
benefits
at
these
farmers
markets
over
123
percent
increase
in
snap
redemptions
at
kentucky
farmers
markets.
F
F
F
F
So
this
is
to
provide,
I
mean
getting
a
little
more
hands-on
with
with
the
farmers
markets,
I
mean,
I
think
we
have
seen
over
the
last
eight
years.
Farmers
markets
in
kentucky
have
actually
become
pretty
pretty
proficient
and
I
think
we're
seeing
them
regard
themselves
as
businesses
unto
themselves
and
learning
how
to
manage
the
farmer's
market
as
a
business,
and
so
now
we're
taking
it
to
next
level.
With
some
really
focused
support
for
for
these
markets,
so
this
year,
five
markets
were
accepted
into
into
this
program.
F
And
again
we
have
you
know
working
again
with
these
important
partners
and
I'm
so
happy
that,
through
this
funding,
we're
able
to
also
support
you
know
these
these
other
five
organizations,
including
department
of
agriculture,
to
to
be
able
to
have
the
capacity
to
support
farmers
markets
the
next
level.
F
A
little
more
about
this
year,
we
had
27
applications
for
the
market
manager,
support
program,
45
for
kentucky
double
dollars,
which
is
down
a
little
bit
from
last
year,
and
I
think
we're
still
seeing
some
fallout
from
from
kovid
and
and
other
things
like
that.
A
couple
with
a
specific
challenge.
This
year,
department
of
agriculture
moved
the
wic
and
senior
programs
to
a
debit
card
system,
a
digital
system.
So
it
was.
It
was
completely
new
system
where
the
markets
and
the
farmers
were
used
to
having
paper
vouchers.
F
You
know
people
responding
in
july
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
flooding
right
that
we
have
in
eastern
kentucky,
and
you
know
it's
so
we're
doing
you
know
reaching
out
to
the
markets
and
farmers
right
now
we're
finding
two
situations:
some
the
markets,
the
the
farmers,
still
have
product,
although
some
of
the
some
like
in
clay
county
in
particular,
one
farm
has
the
product,
but
they
can't
get
it
out
right
because
the
roads
are
impassable,
but
anyway
some
of
the
markets.
F
Some
of
the
farmers
have
product,
but
they
don't
have
the
customers
who
are
impacted
because
of
this,
some
of
them
some
of
the
markets,
have
the
customers,
but
the
farmers
who
have
been
impacted
on
it
right.
So
you
know
we're
we're
still
assessing
all
this.
Tomorrow
we
have
a
meeting.
I
think
our
hope
is
to
increase
that
double
dollar
ratio
for
those
for
those
eastern
kentucky
counties.
Again,
it's
like
one
to
one
right.
F
We
are
looking
to
to
double
or
triple
that
up
so
that
folks
can
and
get
you
know
potentially
three
times
their
snap
benefits
for
purchasing
kentucky
kentucky
grown
products,
the
usda
grant
that
supports
the
snap
fruits
and
vegetables
we
are
in
our
last
year
of
that
grant.
So
we
submitted
a
new
grant
this
year.
You
know,
as
some
of
you
know,
because
we've
been
talking
to
you
all
for
a
while
about
this.
F
That
federal
grant
is
provide
needs
a
one-to-one
match,
so
we-
and
you
know
we
only
were
able
to
do
a
modest
application
for
and
for
two
years
because
of
our
challenges
of
raising
the
match.
So
you
know
we
requested
a
little
over
850
000
over
two
years,
because
we
are
limited
by
our
ability
to
generate
the
same
amount
in
match
over
those
two
years.
F
As
a
potential
source
to
double
those
up
and
make
those
more
accessible
for
that
and
then
hopefully,
in
two
years
we
will
have
resolved
or
been
able
to
generate
more
match
that
allows
us
to
expand
this
program
even
farther
and
throughout
kentucky.
F
We
also
will
our
two-year
grant
from
ag
development
is
up
this
year,
so
we'll
be
submitting
another
application
to
ag
development
here,
late
fall
and-
and
one
thing
we
all
talked
about
and
have
been
supporting
expanding
meat
processing
in
the
state
and
we're
seeing
the
benefit
of
that.
Of
course,
we
double
up
meat,
eggs
and
dairy
at
the
farmers
markets,
but
the
igas
have
asked
us
like.
F
Oh
could
could
we
do
that
too
right,
and
so
you
know
want
to
have
that
conversation,
one
about
the
funding
aspect.
If
ag
development
is
willing
to
fund
kentucky
raised
and
processed
meat
at
retail
outlets,
so
that
again,
snap
recipients
can
join
them
can
enjoy
the
benefits
of
kentucky
livestock
producers
there
and,
and
the
other
part
with
retail,
is
that
we
have
to
work
on
the
aggregation
distribution
working
with
producers,
as
well
as
distributors
and
getting
product
product
there.
F
It's
a
you
know,
it's
a
conversation
having,
but
I'm
excited
about
where
that
could
potentially
lead
us
and
the
impact
on
kentucky
agriculture,
and
so
again
you
know
I
may
be
sitting
here,
but
it
is
a
whole
lot
of
folks
that
are
really
making
this
work,
and
I
would
love
any
questions
if
there
are.
C
F
It's
a
good
question.
I
mean,
I
think
we
reach
out
every
year
we
try
to
reach
out
to
every
year
to
to
the
farmers
markets.
You
know,
I
think
it's
a
mix
of
stuff.
Some
of
it
is,
you
know
us.
Farmers
are
very
conservative
lot
and
you
know
I
think
the
first
question
is
for
a
farmer's
market
is
like
who's
going
to
run
this
program
right
who
on
any
given
saturday
right?
Who
is
the
person
that
is
going
to
accept
the
ebt
cards
or
something
like
that
right?
F
So
they
have
that
question
and
of
course,
that
is
why
the
market
manager
cost
share
has
been
so
effective
because
it
helps
support
that
that
opportunity,
you
know
and
then
there's
the
technology
that
might
be
involved.
F
That
has
been
an
easy
entry
point
into
these
kind
of
programs
that
has
all
changed
now
again
with
a
department
of
ag
moving
to
you
know
a
card.
Likewise,
for
that
and
then-
and
then
you
know
just
the
technology
that
is
involved
with
getting
the
machines
and
running
the
machines
for
that,
and
then
I
think
you
know
the
reporting
that
is
required,
and
I
think
we
last
year
this
year
is
our
first
year.
I
think
we
changed
that
system
up.
We've
been
con,
we
constantly
think
about.
How
can
we
simplify
this
right?
F
How
can
we
make
it
easy
for
the
markets?
You
know
to
do
this.
That
you
know
allows
us
to
administer
the
funds,
and
then
you
know
report
to
whether
it's
usda
or
ag
development
from
all
that,
so
I
mean
I
think,
between
us
and
department
of
agriculture.
You
know
we
are
all
willing
to
sit
down
with
any
market
and
try
to
walk
them
through
it.
F
So
but
the
other
part-
and
this
important
part,
is
the
match
right.
Sometimes
you
know
just
coming
up
with
a
thousand
dollars
match
because
of
the
requirement,
I
think,
can
be
intimidating
right
folks,
don't
where
am
I
going
to
get
a
thousand
dollars?
I
mean
we
can
also
help
help
those
markets
with
those
fundraising.
F
You
know,
especially
with
how
other
markets
have
done,
have
done
that,
and
you
know
we
are
working
more
and
more
with
community
foundations
to
get
those
community
foundations
to
step
up.
So
I
I
think
the
the
market
manager
and
the
match
are
the
single
biggest
obstacles,
but
we're
here
to
help.
A
Any
other
questions-
martin,
you
you
and
I
have
had
the
conversation
concerning
your
federal
match
on
this
program
for
the
852
000,
and
I
promise
you
that
I'll
I'll
do
what
I
can
to
support
you
on
this
right
here.
I
know
it's
very
important.
A
One
of
the
things
I
did
want
to
ask
you,
as
we've
seen
the
inflationary
costs
to
go
up
on
food
products.
I
know
my
wife
and
I
were
just
discussing
a
couple
weeks
ago,
how
much
eggs
have
increased
in
price.
How
is
that
impacting
people's
access
right
there
to
be
able
to
get
out
of
products?
A
F
I
think
double
dollars
has
been
an
inflationary
fighting
tool
right.
I
mean
the
other
thing
that
that
we
see-
and
I
this
is-
I
I
need
to
get
up
with
the
center
for
crop
diversification
at
uk
because
they
monitor
prices
at
select
farmers
markets,
but
I
think
just
from
talking
with
my
staff
that
the
prices
have
risen
at
farmers
markets
right
again,
you
know
because
farmers
have
increased
costs
for
inputs,
but
not
to
the
same
as
at
the
grocery
store
right.
F
Well,
one
is
like
you
know
the
amount
of
miles
that
that
california,
head
of
lettuce,
has
to
come
and
the
increased
cost
of
fuel
to
get
it
here.
You
know
it
has
to
show
up
at
the
supermarket
it.
Does
you
don't
don't
have
that
same
kind
of
impact
at
the
farmers
markets
right
so
so
farmers
have
had
to
raise
their
prices
at
the
markets,
for
instance,
but
you
know
not
to
the
extent
of
of
long
distance.
A
Well
and
that's
the
beauty
of
those
farmers
markets,
because
that
produce
those
though
those
products
are
being
grown
locally,.
F
I
think
that
seems
holds
true
at
the
retail
level
too
right
I
mean
you
know,
I
think.
Typically,
if
you
go
into
a
retailer
and
you
have
kentucky
produce-
and
you
have
you
know
california
or
mexico,
or
something
like
that-
you
know
the
out-of-state
produce
is
going
to
appear
cheaper
and
there's
a
whole
lot
of
reasons
for
that.
But
with
the
double
dollars
program
right,
suddenly
the
kentucky
produce
is
more
affordable
right
than
than
importing.
A
Well,
and
as
you
mentioned
there
within
there
there
in
eastern
kentucky
with
produce
that
could
be
sitting
in
the
field
with
no
way
to
get
it
out,
that's
we.
We
continue
to
offer
our
prayers
there.
I
know,
after
what
we
experienced
in
western
kentucky
last
winter,
with
the
tornadoes
and
now
we're
seeing
this
in
eastern
kentucky,
it's
it.
It
just
puts
so
much
stressing
it's
devastating
of
what
it
does
to
everyone,
but
we'll
continue
keeping
everyone
in
our
prayers
there.
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions.
A
That
will
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
We
appreciate
it.
I
do
want
to
let
everyone
know.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
scheduled
for
thursday
september,
the
15
30
and
we'll
have
a
report
from
the
cabinet
for
health
and
family
services
on
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation.
