A
A
A
Mr
chairman,
can
I
have
it
introduce
him.
A
Go
right
here:
she's,
not
really
a
guest,
but
my
youngest
daughter
kristen
over
here
stand
up
kristen.
This
is
our
youngest
daughter
and
if
she
could
be
up
here
every
day,
I
don't
know
why,
but
she
would
be
up
here
every
day
and
she
loves
this
place
and
she's
and
smiles
every
time
if
you
meet
kristen
kristen's
been
through
a
lot
of
stuff
in
her
life,
but
she
smiles
like
that
every
single
day
I
wish
we
all
could
so
thanks.
Chris.
B
Kristen,
I'm
glad
you're
here
and
I'll
share
with
you.
My
granddaughter
has
been
coming
with
me
since
she
was
two
years
old
and
she
loves
this
coming
here,
whether
it's
here
to
the
annex
going
into
the
capitol
it
thrills
her
every
time
she
makes
the
trip
up.
So
I
know
I
know
your
dad's
so
proud
that
you're
here
with
him
as
well.
B
We
don't
have
a
quorum
yet
so
we
may
have
to
come
back
and
revisit
if
we
have
another
member
show
up
we'll
come
back
and
revisit
approval
over
minutes,
but
we
will
begin
ask
brian
laceville,
the
executive
director
of
the
kentucky
office
of
ag
policy
and
bill
mccloskey.
The
deputy
executive
director
to
come
forward.
Make
your
presentation
please.
D
Well,
good
morning,
brian
lacefield
executive,
director
of
the
kentucky
office
policy-
and
it's
great
to
be
back
here
with
you
all,
seems
like
we
just
left.
I
think
bill,
and
I
were
here
back
the
end
of
may
so
this
one
rolled
around
pretty
quick,
but
we
don't
have
near
the
the
items
to
go
over
last.
Last
time
we
were
with
you.
We
were
playing
catch
up
from
january
on
senator
parrott.
I've
got
a
couple
folks
joining
us
too
today
that
I
thought
you
have
a
chance
to
recognize.
D
We
had
last
time
here
both
of
our
interns
that
are
joining
us
for
the
the
summer,
isaiah
pruitt
from
larue
county
and
abigail
mattingly
from
hardin
county.
I'm
sorry,
washington,
county
springfield,
debbie
wakefield
will
have
me
for
that.
E
D
I'm
sorry
for
that
that
slip
there
I'll
tell
you
that
and
then
hannah
johnson,
as
our
boards
and
events
manager
and
she's,
the
one
coordinating
everything
now
with
oversight
committee
and
she'll
be
joining
us
on
a
regular
basis,
but
senator
perry.
You
were
talking
about
kristen
and
loving
being
up
here
and
chairman
dawson
talk
about
your
your
granddaughter.
D
I've
got
my
son
braden
joining
us
here,
they're
the
sharp
young
man
in
the
blue
blazer
there
to
the
back
and
he's
another
one
that
has
really
taken
an
interest
in
policy
and
and
all
things
going
on,
brought
him
last
week
to
the
joint
ag
committee
and
he
really
enjoyed
that,
and
I
said
well,
you
can
come
come
see
us
another
day,
so
he's
spending
the
the
day
with
us
and
braden.
This
will
be
the
most
exciting
part
of
the
day.
Rest.
D
D
The
new
round
of
funding
that
has
come
in
that
have
been
allocated
now
to
all
the
counties
so
as
the
counties
have
all
their
their
allocations,
we're
back
into
the
the
county
council
meetings
going
across
the
state
and,
as
I
share
with
you
every
month
about
our
travels
across
the
state,
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
kentucky
and
kentucky's
a
big
state
when
you
start
trying
to
cover
it
every
county.
At
a
time.
D
I
believe
we
set
our
record
for
a
number
of
county
council
meetings
in
one
one
day
we
had
12
in
one
day
and
we
can
do
do
a
head
count.
Real
quick
at
our
our
staff,
we're
15
strong
on
if
everybody's
everybody's
present
and
the
the
koap
team
was
able
to
make
10
of
those
spread
across
the
the
county
to
be
there.
We
do
try
to
make
every
county
council
meeting
possible
with
with
some
member
of
our
team
there
just
to
assist
in
the
facilitation
of
the
meeting.
D
Our
our
partners
with
the
uk
and
our
extension
agents
across
the
state
do
a
great
job
with
that,
but
been
a
lot
of
turnover,
a
lot
of
new
agents
starting
on.
So
we
we
with
our
our
history
and
and
experience
like
to
try
to
be
there
as
questions
come
up
and
eligible
projects
and
things
we
can.
D
There
is
something
going
on
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at,
inspecting
or
or
checking
up
on,
so
we
try
to
group
our
travel
and
be
as
efficient
as
possible
with
what
we
do,
but
that
is.
It
is
the
kind
of
the
reason
that
gets
us
out
on
the
road.
I
know
last
year
bill
and
I
had
had
one
county
council
meeting.
It
was
a
30-minute
meeting
right
in
the
middle
of
wheat
harvest
chairman,
and
we
had
18
other
stops
that
we
we
did
and
I
think,
eight
different
counties
around
there.
D
As
we
traveled
kentucky
ag
finance
had
its
monthly
board
meeting
last
last
week
and
we're
seeing
an
uptick
in
our
interest
in
our
loan
programs.
We
saw
what
the
the
federal
reserve
has
done
with
with
raising
rates
we're
watching
the
10-year
treasury.
I
look
at
that.
Every
morning,
when
I
get
up
we're,
seeing
interest
rates
are
moving
up
when
interest
rates
moving
up
our
interest
rate
becomes
even
more
and
more
attractive.
All
of
our
loans
are
priced
at
two
percent,
with
a
75
basis.
D
Point
servicing
fee
added
on
that
the
banks
are
able
to
retain
that
three-quarters
of
a
percent,
but
the
customer's
paying
2.75
percent
fixed
for
15
years.
So
that's,
it's
historically
been
an
attractive
rate
and
it
gets
more
attractive,
as
as
commercial
rates
continue
to
increase,
but
we
had
13
different
loans
approved
last
month
for
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
Now
again,
that's
that's
our
portion
of
that.
D
So
the
most
we
will
do
of
a
project
is
up
to
50,
so
it's
it's
closer
to
10
million
dollars
in
total
projects
happening
in
kentucky,
with
either
farm
purchases
or
infrastructure
being
added
to
to
a
farm
that
was
approved
last
year
and
we
or
last
month-
and
we
expect
this
to
continue.
D
I
also
made
just
some
some
tweaks
to
some
of
our
loan
programs
to
make
them
a
little
bit
more
inclusive
and
and
expansive
to
to
encourage
more
participation
and
one
that
is
a
is
a
topic
that
we
we've.
D
D
I
think
bill
that
has
been
in
place
to
to
work
with
a
veterinarian
to
to
buy
into
an
existing
operation,
with
the
hope
there
of
having
an
equity
stake
in
the
community
would
would
be
an
incentive
for
them
to
to
stay
in
also
can
be
utilized
this
program
for
buying
equipment
that
would
be
specific
to
large
and
food
animal
needs,
but
it
like
all
of
our
other
programs
requires
matching
dollars
coming
in
from
the
other
lender.
D
The
other
portion
of
that
a
decision
was
made
through
meetings
and
investing
to
maybe
find
ways
to
to
work
with
other
projects
or
or
other
ways
to
utilize.
This
program
and
utilize.
The
existing
student
loan
debt
that
these
veterinarians
have
is
they
come
out
of
school?
D
It's
it's
nothing
to
to
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
student
loan
debt
coming
out
after
you
finish
this
professional
degree
and
you've
got
a
you've
got
you've
got
a
big
liability
on
your
balance
sheet
and
you
can't
put
that
corresponding
asset
on
the
the
other
side
of
the
ledger
there,
where
you've
got
your
future
earning
powers
on
doing
this,
so
we've
we've
opened
that
up
now
to
where
we
could
do
100
of
the
project.
D
If
there
is
the
same
amount
of
student
loan
debt
that
would
offset
this
so
up
to
250
000
again
could
do
that.
The
15-year
loan
2.75
percent
still
need
a
bank
to
actually
service
the
loan
and
handle
the
paperwork.
But
we've
rolled
that
out,
we've
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
the
the
the
veterinary
medical
association
and
we're
going
to
talk
at
their
annual
meeting
and
share
that,
but
it's
met
with
favorable
response
so
we're
to
date.
D
Speaking
of
the
the
veterinary
problems
and
concerns
with
the
underserved
areas,
we
had
a
stakeholders
meeting
yesterday
with
various
groups
that
was
facilitated
by
the
the
commissioner
and
the
kda
to
to
bring
in
all
the
the
the
folks
that
maybe
can
can
work
together
to
come
up
with
some
ways
to
to
expand
opportunities
for
coming
in,
and
it
was
a
great
first
meeting
I
probably
had
60
70
folks
in
attendance
and
and
had
a
morning
full
of
speakers
and
some
brainstorming
ideas
came
up.
D
I
think
there
will
be
some
some
follow-up
meetings
with
that
on
ways
that
that
even
we
can
be
able
to
participate
in
this.
This
issue
with
ag
development
funds.
D
We
have
our
joint
meeting
coming
up,
extend
an
invitation
to
all
all
committee
members
and
and
staff
we've
got
got
some
of
the
team
joining
us
tomorrow.
At
the
the
the
ag
development
board
meeting
but
july
15th,
we
will
have
our
joi
be
a
joint
meeting
we'll
have
both
boards
ag
finance
and
ag
development
together
and
representative
king
for
those
who
were
part
of
the
the
agriculture
committee.
D
Last
week
we
had
dr
will
snell
speak
and
gave
a
fantastic
presentation
of
of
inflation
and
the
impact
that
it's
having
in
in
the
ag
community
and
and
will
be
present
in
our
rural
economies
across
the
state
well
bill,
and
I
were
on
the
same
page.
We
both
leaned
up
at
the
conclusion
of
that
and
said
we
need
to
get
him
in
front
of
both
of
our
boards.
D
So
dr
snell
will
be
be
opening
the
meeting
with
with
his
presentation
so
that
one
will
be
here
in
frankfurt
at
the
franklin
county
extension
office,
and
I
will
stop
with
that
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
and
let
bill
go
through
some
of
our
projects.
B
Before
we
begin
bill,
we
have
a
quorum
and
I'd
like
to
move
on
with
our
minutes.
If
I
can
have
a
motion
on
the
approval
or
minutes
for
may
2nd,
all
those
in
favor.
E
E
Feedback
on
those
investments
gave
justification
to
continue
to
do
that.
So
for
this
year,
any
county
that
receives
under
thirty
thousand
dollars
was
brought
up
to
up
to
a
level
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
run
some
programs.
E
So,
as
we
pointed
out
in
the
past,
there's
been
two
counties
not
and
pike
that
did
not
grow
any
better
tobacco,
so
they
have
not
received
money
on
a
county
allocation
for
for
the
20-year
period,
and
so
this
allowed
them
to
have
some
funds
to
be
able
to
offer
cost
share
programs
to
producers
or
farmers
in
those
those
two
counties
as
well
as
other
counties.
I
noticed
the
committee
asked
what
were
they
doing
with
the
monies
that
they've
been
provided
with
they've
administered,
at
least
in
eastern
kentucky?
E
It's
been
the
cape
program,
you
can
see
mccreary,
county
and
leslie
county
here
are
going
to
offer
the
cost
share
program
this
year,
and
then
we
did
mention
hickman
county
and
fulton
county
supported
two
high
school
projects.
That's
an
update
on
the
cape
program.
Now,
if
you
look
at
the
next
generation,
there
was
just
one
county.
Henry
county
cattlemen's
association
was
approved
for
60
000,
so
the
next
generation
farmer
program
we
refer
to
it
as
next
generation.
It
allows
the
county
to
take
similar
allocation
and
target
beginning
farmers.
E
Those
are
farmers
between
age,
18
and
40..
So
for
last
year
2021
we
did
have
eight
counties
that
did
utilize
this
program
again
to
target
their
beginning.
Farmers
under
the
youth
ag
incentives
program
you
can
see,
we
have
camp
seven
counties
approved
for
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars,
so
the
the
youth
program
will
start
at
about
2017
when
it
was.
We
worked
with
funded
several
counties
that
were
doing
their
own
youth
program,
so
the
board
directed
staff
to
work
look
at
coming
up
with
a
structured
youth
program.
E
So
we
did
that
and
wrote
it
out
about
2017,
and
so
we've
seen
counties
continue
to
show
interest
in
this
program
and
start
in
17
18
counties
in
2018,
24
counties
utilize
the
program
19
1923
2020,
it
was
25
and
then
last
year
was
32.
Counties
used
some
of
their
county
money
to
support
the
youth
program
and
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
guidelines
for
the
youth
program,
the
the
funds
that
allocated
to
the
county
are
divided
among
the
youth
applicants
on
a
pro-rated
basis.
E
So
it's
not
a
scoring
matrix
because
the
boar's
thought
was
you'd
have
the
age
age
bracket
is
nine
to
18
and
so
having
a
scoring
a
nine-year-old
scoring
against
or
competing
against
a
16
year
old,
wouldn't
be
fair.
So
the
way
it
was
structured
was
to
prorate
the
money
out
among
the
eligible
applicants.
It's
a
50
50
cost
share
basis.
E
They
have
to
provide
documentation
of
expenses,
that's
cancelled
checks
and
invoices,
just
like
we
do
in
the
cape
program.
So
cash
is
not
eligible.
Some
of
the
other
else.
Eligibility
requirements
are
have
to
be
enrolled
in
elementary
middle
school
or
high
school,
and
this
can
also
include
home,
schooled
students
as
as
well
as
I
mentioned
ages,
9
to
18.
E
You
have
to
have
a
social
security
number
to
be
eligible.
I
have
to
have
parent
parental
consent
and
then
there
has
there's
a
mentor
requirement
as
part
of
either
4-h
or
ffa
or
some
agricultural
organization.
I'm
just
reading
off
our
guidelines
that
are
available
on
her
on
our
website
and
then
they're
also
required
to
make
a
presentation
to
to
their
mentor
and
their
peers.
E
They're
also
required
to
participate
in
an
educational
session
working
with
4-h,
ffa
leadership
or
community
service
or
marketing
promotion
is
also
a
requirement
and,
as
far
as
what
is
eligible
in
the
youth
program
at
greenhouse
horticulture
production,
so
this
would
be
this
would
line
up
with
the
over
50
greenhouses
that
we've
funded
over
over
the
years-
and
you
know
center,
our
generation
probably
worked
in
tobacco
now
used
are
given
other
opportunities.
The
horticulture
is
certainly
one
of
those
so
with
with
the
investment
the
counties
made
in
greenhouses.
E
This
kind
of
lines
up
with
this,
with
those
investments
as
well
having
a
youth
program
where
they
can
get
involved
in
greenhouse
production,
horticulture,
hydroponics
and
aquaponics
aquaponics
or
hydroponics,
represent
reed.
I
know
larue
counties
use
some
use
some
of
their
county
money
to
develop
a
hydroponics
operation
there
in
the
larue
county
high
school,
then
also
value-added
marketing,
wildlife
management
getting
in
animal
production,
it
can
be
beef
and
dairy
purchase
of
breeding
stock
or
market
animals.
Bulls
are
not
eligible
in
this
program.
E
Then,
of
course
you,
as
you
might
expect
goats
equine
sheep,
rabbits,
wine
and
poultry.
Obviously
that
fits
in
well
with
with
the
youth
bees
and
then
improvements
to
livestock
barns
and
then
showmanship
is
also
supported
in
this
program.
Equipment
supplies,
including
a
generator
handling,
supplies
and
equipment
tack
and
show
attire
senator
webb,
is
to
support
the
showmanship
part
of
it
and
then
the
ham
as
we're
all
aware.
There's
a
lot
of
ham
projects
going
on.
This
certainly
is
eligible
in
this
program
anyway.
So
that
gives
you
an
update
on
the
on
the
youth
program.
E
Well,
let's
go
to
program
amendments
on
page
three,
so
count
casey
county
conservation
district
originally
approved
for
three
hundred
fifteen
thousand
dollars
when
they
were
approved
last
year
and
so
they've
added
with
the
new
money,
two
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
to
bring
total
money
available
in
casey
county
five
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
to
support
the
cape
program
in
fayette
county
originally
approved
for
175
000
requested
forty
thousand
dollars
to
bring
the
total
to
two
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
and
then
owen
county
was
recently
approved
for
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
then
they're
requesting
some
of
their
new
money,
265
000,
to
bring
it
to
a
total
of
315
thousand
dollars.
E
E
Moving
on
a
couple
of
projects
to
update
you
on
page
four
is
gab.
Meat
processing
was
approved
for
five
thousand
dollars
in
butler
county
purchasing,
so
equipment
to
start
to
meet
processing
facility
in
butler
county.
This
individual
had
already
purchased
the
building
in
butler
county
with
a
with
a
local
lender,
so
he
requested
these
funds
to
start
a
custom
operation
talk
to
him
here
this
week
and
he
expects
to
request
additional
funds
as
to
expand
his
operation
and
go
more
towards
a
usda
inspected
facility.
E
So
you'll
probably
be
hearing
more
from
him
in
the
in
the
future.
All
right.
Next,
on
page
five,
we've
got
the
sugarloaf
mountain,
meets
and
processing
in
around
county,
so
they
were
approved
for
200
24.
Fifty
dollars
in
state
funds
to
purchase
a
poultry
processing
unit
called
a
plant
in
a
box.
So
that's
a
self-contained
unit.
That's
delivered
and
allows
them
to
start
processing
poultry.
E
So
the
background
for
the
this
applicant
to
get
here
to
to
you
today
and
before
you
today,
they
had
several
requirements
that
our
board
put
in
place
when
we
were
looking
at
the
the
interest
we
had
in
individuals
who
want
to
get
in
the
meat
processing
business.
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
many
were
several
requirements
was
they
had
to
work
on
work
with
kcar
kentucky
center
for
agriculture
and
rural
development
on
a
business
plan.
E
Once
they
got
the
business
plan
com
business
plan
completed,
then
they
had
to
work
with
a
meat
consultant,
specialist
or
expert
that
we
had
hired
through
the
rfp
process
request
for
proposals
and
this
individual
had
over
30
years.
Experience
in
the
meat
processing
business
currently
lives
in
georgia.
So
once
we
got
the
business
plan
application
the
business
plan
in
and
then
this
individual,
the
meat
processing
consultant,
would
meet
with
the
the
applicant
review.
E
Their
business
plan
then
make
recommendations
obviously
make
observation
recommendation
on
how
to
move
the
business
forward
and
then
the
applicant
had
a
chance
to
respond.
Then
we
presented
this
information
to
the
meat
processing
expansion
committee,
which
is
our
board
members.
Then
they
would
make
a
recommendation
to
the
full
board
on
whether
to
fund
the
project
or
not.
E
So
here
we
have
the
application
today,
after
they've
gone
through
all
this
process,
and
this
will
be
processing
poultry
in
eastern
kentucky,
senator
senator
webb,
it's
our
understanding
from
some
of
our
colleagues
to
work
in
kentucky
department
of
agriculture
and
work
with
the
kentucky,
proud
program
and
work
with
producers
across
the
state.
There
is
a
need
for
poultry
processing
in
in
the
state,
so
we
feel
like
the
board
feels
like
this
is
going
to
really
be
able
to
address
it.
These
two
individuals
are
part
of
this.
E
Business
are
young
young
men
that
have
off-farm
jobs,
have
the
resources
to
be
able
to
make
this
work?
They
have
been
processing
their
own
poultry
and,
like
a
lot
of
any
startup
processor,
get
a
lot
of
calls
once
they
find
out
your
product,
your
process
and
livestock.
Can
you
do
this
this
and
this,
and
so
they
saw
this
as
opportunity
and,
as
you
can
see,
they
were
successful
in
securing
a
usda
grant
of
200
000.
E
So
between
ag
development
fund
of
money
and
this
the
usda
money
most
of
the
project
is,
is
funded
and
we
think
we
think
this.
This
increases
their
probability.
This
project
will
be
successful
and
make
an
impact
in
kentucky
that
to
producers
that
are
growing
poultry,
raising
poultry
and
may
want
to
raise
poultry
in
the
future.
If
they
know
they've
got
a
processor
in
the
in
the
area
represent
king,
so
they
were
approved
for
224
thousand
850.
E
D
Bill
and
I
have
realized,
there's
some
some
regional
differences
in
our
our
speaking
and
dialect,
but
chairman,
if
you
were
gonna,
refer
to
the
county
seat
in
trigg
county.
How?
How
would
you
do
that.
D
That's
the
way
I
call
it
bill
hill
puts
a
little
more
flare
on
it.
So
I
I
made
a
comment
in
the
board
meeting
and
I've
been
paying
for
it
ever
since
so,
but
I'm
proud
of
this
project,
and
that
is
one
of
one
of
the
counties.
D
I've
I've
literally
lived
next
to
even
caldwell
and
christian
for
the
majority
of
my
life
and
was
working
there
prior
to
coming
to
this
part
of
the
state
with
ag
policy
work,
and
this
came
out
of
a
recognized
need
from
from
the
local
leadership
group
that
was
going
through
the
the
trigg
county
leadership
and
they
they
saw.
D
This
need
wanted
to
do
a
project
and
reached
out
talked
to
our
office
about
it,
and-
and
this
now
will
be
our
73rd
county-
that
we've
had
a
head
state
funds
going
in
to
help
with
a
farmer's
market,
and
this
is
going
going
to
help
10
producers
right
now.
D
I
think
the
the
opportunity
for
this
to
grow
they're
they're
having
over
100
customers
coming
to
the
facility
right
now,
every
day
that
they're
open,
we
do
ask
that
the
counties
put
in
some
money,
trigg
county
did
allocate
a
thousand
dollars
to
it.
92
500,
coming
in
from
state
funds
and
the
rest
is
being
raised
by
a
donation.
They've
locked
in
the
biggest
part
of
this
still
have
13
000
pending
but
they're.
The
class
is
working
hard
to
get
this
taken
care
of
so
excited
about
this.
B
F
B
You
did
we've
got
some
questions
before
we
start
right
here,
representative
king.
I
just
want
to
brayden
welcome
we're
so
happy.
You've
been
able
to
be
here
with
your
dad
today,
but
representative
king.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
mine,
is
a
a
comment
and
a
brief
question.
If
that's
okay,
going
back
to
the
poultry
processing
project
and
the
many
steps
that
you
went
through,
I
think
that's
why
your
programs
are
so
successful
as
you
do
all
that
background,
work
and
dot
all
the
I's
and
cross
the
t's
for
the
good
of
the
group-
and
you
may
not
know
the
exact
numbers.
E
D
And
I
I
put
that
brag
on
our
partnering
lenders
that
we
work
with
in
these
these
projects.
D
One
of
these
partnering
lenders
that's
out
bill
and
I
got
to
know
each
other
16
18
years
ago,
working
at
planner's
bank
there
with
my
first
first
project
is,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
work
on
the
lenders
for
for
doing
this,
and
so
there's
a
pretty
good
vetting
process
with
it
and
and
then
having
the
the
mentor
requirement
that
we
have
with
our
beginning
farm
loan
program
and
that's
that's.
Two-Thirds
of
the
loans
in
our
portfolio,
I
think,
is
another
added
benefit
to
it.
So
we've
got
good.
G
H
E
Well,
for
the
programs
we
presented
today
or
the
program
yeah,
the
programs
is,
you
have
to
have
an
entity
administer
the
program,
so
it's
kind
of
a
decentralized
process
where
the
county
councils
have
the
ability
to
commit
the
money
to
a
project.
So
we
can
have
different
entities
administer
the
programs
it
can
be.
The
conservation
district
is
the
entity
that
probably
administers
most
of
the
cape
programs.
In
some
cases
where
the
leadership
comes
out
of
the
cattlemen's
association.
H
H
E
H
That's
a
good
thing:
I'm
talking
about
financing
how?
How
do
we
anticipate
interest
rates
affecting
the
program.
D
I
it's
going
to
drive
interest
from
both
both
standpoints
of
it's
going
to
be
more
advantageous
to
the
customer
they're
going
to
be
asking
their
bankers
about
it,
going
to
be
looking
into
it
and
as
we're
working
on
cash
flows
if
to
mitigate
and
to
be
able
to
get
things
to
work,
having
the
lower
cash
flow
is
going
to
or
the
lower
interest
rate
will
result,
lower
payment
and
more
ability
to
service
the
the
other
component
of
the
the
loan.
The
non-participated
part.
H
D
And
and
producers
as
well,
I
mean
coming
from
the
rounds
of
the
the
usda
farm
service
agency
payments
with
the
coronavirus
food
assistant
program,
two
rounds
of
funding.
The
second
one
literally
touched
every
component
of
of
kentucky
agriculture,
we're
receiving
payments
and
then
add
on
top
of
that,
the
ppp
program
that
were
eligible,
we
were
finding
that
cash
balance
both
on
on
businesses
and
and
then
those
are
stored
in
a
bank.
So
core
deposits
were
we're
up
with
a
lot
of
our
community
banks
across
the
state.
So
we
were
seeing.
D
We
got
to
ask
the
first
time
we
got
asked.
Well,
how
do
we
want
to
buy
participation
back
that
the
2.75
percent
they
wanted
to
have
that
on
their
books
and
well,
that's
really
easy.
You
can
just
pay
us
off,
so
it's
not
a
not
a
complicated
process,
but
that
was
a
first
for
bill
and
his
his
lifetime
with
the
ag
finance
program.
E
And
I
think
we
saw
the
federal
reserve
increased
interest
rates
and
so
that's
probably
going
to
result
in
additional
applications
for
our
program
because,
as
brian
mentioned,
we're
2.75
fixed
rate
up
to
15
years
and
we
will
amortize
20
up
to
25
years.
So
I
think
those
factors
are
going
to
result
in
additional
interest
for
our
loan
program.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
just
want
to
allude
to
conversations
that
we've
had
not
only
here
in
frankfort,
but
even
in
my
community
secretary
ball
was
up
there
this
week
and
at
the
chamber
meeting.
We
discussed
this
issue
and
it
was.
We
talked
about
it
in
natural
resources
and
that's
the
ability
financing
impact
on
certain
sectors
that
have
been
infiltrated
by
esg,
I
think,
is
the
terminology.
H
It's
particularly
in
fossil
fuels,
we're
having
those
conversations
and
natural
resources,
and
then
secretary
ball
was
up
there
and
we
were
having
a
conversation
about
that
at
the
chamber
meeting.
So
I
had
to
chime
in
on
the
animal
agriculture
side,
because
we
are
seeing
some
impact
of
that
too,
where
agenda-driven,
anti-use,
anti-animal
production,
animal
use
are,
are
infiltrating
some
of
the
financial
sectors
like
much
like
they've
done
the
fossil
fuel.
H
So
I
think
that
I
just
felt
compelled
to
mention
that
and
something
to
be
mindful
of
moving
forward
for
animal
production
and
utilization
and
and
see
if
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
D
I
have
a
lot
of
thoughts
on
that
I'm
following
along
with
with
your
train
of
thought.
I
think
I
think
it's
something
we're
gonna
have
to
continue
to
keep
an
eye
on
and
and
work
to,
navigate
navigate
through.
D
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Just
a
quick
question
bill
is:
is
kaycard
still
working
with
the
folks
in
e-town
on
a
lot
of
projects
that
you
know
we
used
to
with
through
k-card
there
in
e-10.
E
They're
they're
have
most
of
those-
I
guess
12
employees
now
maybe
14
and
they're
funded
through
the
ag
development
fund
and
usda
provides
funding
for
that.
So
they
can
provide
these
valuable
services
on
these
business
plans
and
we
see
applications
all
the
time
coming
in
and
and
I'll
describe
them
as
undeveloped
business
plan,
and
that
means
go
straight
to
cake
art
and
work
through
their
business
plan
and
then
bring
it
back
and
we'll
work
through
it
with
them.
So
but
they've
got
staff
all
over
the
state.
A
B
If
not
bill
brian,
thank
you
very
much
brayden.
Once
again,
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
hope
your
dad
brings
you
back
over
to
christian
county,
perhaps
into
next
week
or
the
following
week.
The
western
kentucky
state
fair
begins
on
the
24th
june
24th
through
july
2nd.
So
I
hope
I
get
to
see
you
brian
over
revisiting
well.
D
We
we
do
try
to
get
back
as
often
as
we
can.
I
think
the
one
for
sure
it's
on
the
calendar
is
the
rodeo
coming
up
in
in
august,
that
that
was
a
condition
upon
us
moving
across
the
state,
as
we
still
could
go
back
for
rodeo
weekend.
B
Next,
we
will
have
a
presentation
concerning
farm
to
food
banks
and
ask
sarah
vaughan
director
of
farm
to
food
bank's
program
for
feeding
kentucky
if
she
would
come
forward
or
cassidy
wheeler,
who
is
advocacy
coordinator
for
feeding
kentucky.
Please
come
to
the
table.
If
you
both
introduce
yourselves.
I
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
here.
So
my
name
is
cassidy
wheeler
for
those
of
y'all
who
don't
know
me,
I'm
the
advocacy
coordinator.
So
I
was
up
here
every
day
during
the
session
this
year,
but
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
y'all
about
some
of
the
projects
that
we've
got
going
on
here
at
feeding,
kentucky
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
my
colleague
sarah
to
introduce
herself
hello.
Everyone
turn
your
microphone
yeah.
F
I
So
one
in
six
kentuckians
experience
hunger
and
food
insecurity.
I
You
know,
obviously
that
is
a
huge
number
and
one
that
we're
working
to
get
down,
and
we
know
that
vulnerable
groups
experience
that
rate
even
higher,
so
one
in
five
kentucky
kids,
you
know,
experience
hunger
and
we
have
the
second
highest
rate
of
food
insecurity
among
elderly
folks.
So
you
know
the
majority
of
kentuckians
who
are
experiencing
hunger.
Are,
you
know,
frequently
single
moms
with
kids,
elderly
kentuckians,
disabled
kentuckians,
so
we're
always
trying
to
consider
right
how
you
know
these
vulnerable
groups?
I
You
know
what
the
factors
are
that
are
causing
hunger.
So
here
you
can
see
counties
in
kentucky
by
food
insecurity
rates,
so
those
are
the
top
counties
that
experience
food
insecurity
at
the
highest
rates
and
you
can
see
in
the
map.
Obviously
you
know
eastern
kentucky
southeastern
kentucky,
that's
where
hunger
is
the
highest.
The
counties
that
are
dark
green-
that
is,
that
indicates
that
more
than
50
percent
of
folks
there
qualify
for
snap.
I
So
here
you
can
see
right.
This
is
kind
of
the
key
for
the
chart
right.
So
you
know
the
light.
The
light
green
talks
about
right
right-
this
is
like
we
have
less
levels
of
hunger
in
those
counties
that
are
light
green
and
you
know
it
says
here.
33
of
folks
who
live.
There
are
above
you
know,
other
nutrition
program
thresholds
of
185
poverty
levels.
I
So
you
know
these
people
aren't
qualifying
for
a
lot
of
nutrition
programs
and
then
kind
of
the
mid-level
green,
that's
between
130
to
180
poverty
and
then,
like
I
said
before,
the
dark
green
is
more
than
half
of
the
folks
qualify
for
snap.
So
again
you
know.
If
we
go
back
and
look
at
this,
we
see
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
dark,
green
or
mid-level
grading
across
the
state.
I
Okay
and
then
obviously,
we
know
too
that
the
pandemic
has
exacerbated
that
right.
So
you
know
nationally
feeding
america
estimates
that
food
insecurity
is
increased
by
18
we've
seen
even
more
than
that
here
in
kentucky
and
our
food
banks
have
estimated
that
they've
experienced
a
30
average
increase
in
demand.
So
you
know
the
pandemic
has
put
a
serious
strain
on
our
food
banks
and
pantries,
and
that's
something
that
we're
we're
working
with
them
to
combat.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
sarah
and
let
her
talk
about
some
of
our
responses.
F
Okay,
so
here
is
a
map
of
our
member
food
banks
that
shows
their
service
areas
across
the
state.
So
feeding
kentucky
is
a
statewide
organization,
but
we
we
partner
with
these
seven
food
banks
that
that
together
serve
all
120
counties
in
kentucky.
F
Actually,
I
believe
this
was
in
fiscal
year
2020
and
we
distributed
79
million
meals
to
kentuckians
in
need
and
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
needs.
We
can
always
use
funds
for
cold
storage
and
building
more
brick
and
mortar
buildings
to
store
the
food
in
and
then
also
the
pandemic
kind
of,
led
to
us,
having
some
more
flexibility
in
school
and
federal
nutrition
programs
and
having
that
flexibility
was
really
welcomed
and
appreciated,
and
so
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
our
farms
to
food
banks
program
and
basically
like,
like.
F
I
said
it
takes
agricultural
products
from
a
farmer's
needing
a
market
and
distributes
those
to
kentuckians
in
need
and
there's
three
main
goals
for
the
farms
to
food
banks
program
that
is,
to
increase
access
to
healthy,
nutritious
produce
to
people
who
are
in
need
of
it
and
also
to
support
the
farmers
by
providing
them
with
a
reimbursement
that
helps
cover
their
expenses
for
harvesting
packaging
and
transporting
the
products
to
our
facilities.
F
And
then,
lastly,
it
helps
to
reduce
waste
by
taking
excess
or
number
two
or
what
you
call
ugly
produce
and
distributing
that
to
people
who
can
use
it,
and
so
last
year
we
distributed
3.3
million
pounds
of
produce
across
the
state.
We
accepted
28
different
types
of
fruits
and
vegetables.
F
We
also
distributed
some
meat,
cheese
and
eggs.
We've
we've
started
since
the
pandemic.
We
have
received
some
outside
grant
funding
that
we
can
use
to
help
purchase
protein
items,
which
has
been
very
appreciated
by
the
food
banks,
because
those
are
often
items
that
are
more
expensive
to
purchase
for
our
families
that
we
serve
and
we
distributed
produce
to
all
120
counties,
and
we
spent
about
878
thousand
dollars
on
produce
purchases.
F
And
then
our
impact
on
the
farmers,
so
we
worked
with
332
farmers
from
57
different
counties
last
year
and
14
of
those
farmers
received
more
than
ten
thousand
dollars,
but
on
average
farmers
received
about
two
thousand
dollars
throughout
the
course
of
the
year
and
the
farmer
that
received
the
most
got
and
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars.
So
it
it
really
just
depends
on
how
much
excess
you
have
and
that
particular
farmer
that
got
158.
F
He
was
also
he
was
bringing
meat
eggs
and
produce
pretty
much
on
a
consistent
basis
throughout
the
whole
year
and
since
2011
we
have
rescued
over
27
million
pounds
of
food
through
the
farms
to
food
banks
program,
which
equates
to
about
45
million
meals.
We've
worked
with
more
than
a
thousand
kentucky
farmers
and
have
distributed
over
5.8
million
dollars
back
into
the
the
local
economy.
F
And
here
are
a
list
of
some
of
our
funders,
so
we're
thanks
to
the
kentucky
general
assembly.
We
are,
we
get
funding
from
them
and
then
farm
credit
community
foundation,
and
we
have
a
few
others
that
are
not
listed.
I
Yeah-
and
of
course
you
know,
we
know
this
is
a
really
amazing
program,
because
folks
who
live
in
poverty
are
so
much
more
likely
to
not
have
nutritious
meals.
So
this
is
especially
impactful
in
that
it
gets
folks,
you
know
fresh,
fresh
produce
and
protein
and
it's
locally
grown
so
and,
like
I
said,
we
are
very
cognizant
here
at
feeding
kentucky
of
the
vulnerable
groups
who
experience
hunger
at
higher
rates
in
kentucky.
I
So
we
have
an
entire
program
dedicated
to
you
know,
making
sure
that
the
children
across
the
commonwealth
are
fed
called
the
kentucky
eats
program.
Sorry
kentucky
kids
eat
program,
that's
important,
so
yeah,
like
I
said
one
in
five
children
in
kentucky
experience
hunger.
I
So,
oh
sorry,
so
you
know
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
they
get
fed
every
single
day
of
the
year,
whether
that's
you
know
connecting
them
to
school
meals
or
getting
them.
You
know
feeding
sites
across
the
summer,
so
we
partner
with
no
kid
hungry,
which
is
a
national
organization,
that's
dedicated
to
eradicating
child
hunger
and
they
offer
a
lot
of
really
awesome
resources.
You
know
trainings
different.
I
You
know
advocacy
materials
right
now
because
you
know,
like
sarah
said
during
the
pandemic,
we
had
a
lot
of
really
awesome
flexibilities,
but
right
now
you
know
the
federal
government
has
declined
to
continue
some
of
them
so
specifically
about
school
meal
reimbursement,
the
different
kind
of
waivers
for
child
feeding.
So
we're
kind
of
scrambling
right
now
to
make
sure
that
kids
don't
miss
out,
because
we
do
know
that
summer
is
the
hungriest
time
for
kentucky
kids.
So
no
kid
hungry
has
this
really
cool
hotline
where
you
can
text
hungry?
I
No,
not
hungry
text,
food
or
comedia
to
304-304
and
they'll
connect
you
with
a
summer
meal
site
near
you,
so
parents
can
text
that
and
find
out.
You
know
where
they
can
get
free
meals
for
their
kids
and
and
stop
by.
So
that's
a
really
great
resource,
and
you
know
we're
advising
kentuckians
right
now
on
how
they
can
make
sure
their
kids
get
fed
this
year
because
they
have
to
go
back
to
meal
sites
and
eat
there,
and
not
all
schools
are
doing
them
this
year
for
a
variety
of
different
reasons.
I
So
we
have
a
lot
less
sponsors
and
a
lot
less
sites
this
summer,
so
our
kentucky
kids
eat
person.
Kate
mcdonald,
is
really
working
super
tirelessly
trying
to
make
sure
that
all
kids
across
the
state
have
access
to
food
this
summer.
I
So
one
of
the
successes
we
had
this
year
is
our
school
breakfast
bill.
So
this
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
couple
of
years
now
last
session.
I
This
came
up,
but
it
kind
of
died
and
didn't
get
passed,
but
this
year
you
know
it
came
back
to
the
general
assembly
and
it
passed
and
we're
very
excited
about
this.
So
the
school
breakfast
bill
basically
makes
it
clear.
You
know
it
codifies
that
school
districts
can
use
up
to
15
minutes
of
instructional
time
for
kids
to
eat
school
breakfast,
so
some
districts
were
already
doing
this.
The
legislation
that
existed
before
was
just
very
vague.
I
So
basically,
this
bill
just
clarified
that
so
this
will
be
really
great.
For
you
know,
a
lot
of
kids
aren't
accessing
school
breakfast
for
a
variety
of
different
reasons,
and
especially
right
now
with
like
school
bus
shortages,
a
lot
of
kids
aren't
getting
to
school.
In
time
to
get
breakfast
I
know
so
I
I
was
a
teacher
before
I
started
working
in
advocacy-
and
I
know
like
my
old
school
district
has
so
few
bus
drivers
that
they
have
to
do
at
least
two
different
trips.
I
You
know
so
the
kids,
who
are
coming
kind
of
that
second
wave
they're
getting
to
school,
often
late,
so
the
districts
who
don't
allow
breakfast
after
the
bell,
those
kids
just
weren't
getting
breakfast.
I
So
this
is
going
to
be
really
revolutionary
for
kentucky
kids,
and
I
think
you
know.
In
the
past
it's
been
nearly
70
of
kids
who
eat
school.
Lunch,
don't
eat
school
breakfast
and
I
think
that
that
ends
up
being
almost
300
000
kids,
who
are
missing
out
on
school
breakfast.
So
that's
pretty
significant
right
and
we
know
too
that
school
breakfast
really
positively
impacts
kids,
so
they
miss
less
school.
They
do
much
better
on
test
scores,
but
also
kids
who
eat
breakfast
are
20
percent
more
likely
to
graduate
high
school.
I
So
not
only
are
they,
you
know
doing
better
as
their
time
as
students,
but
obviously
that's
a
huge
impact
on
their
adult
life.
Right,
like
we
are
making
better
kentuckians,
you
know
who
are
going
to
have
more
opportunities,
so
we
know
how
important
breakfast
is
to
kentucky
kids.
So
you
know
we
partnered
with
a
lot
of
different
organizations
to
get
this
done.
I
We
worked
with
tusk
and
run
switch
headed
up
by
trey
grayson
and
our
partners
in
the
general
assembly,
senator
howe
is
was
our
sponsor,
so
we
were
very
excited
and
we're
very
thankful,
for
you
know
all
of
our
partners
who
made
that
happen,
and
we're
very
you
know
thankful
to
y'all
for
passing
this.
I
We
think
it's
going
to
make
a
huge
difference,
so
this
will
be
left
up
to
school
districts
to
decide
so
we're
talking
right
now,
with
superintendents
across
the
commonwealth,
to
kind
of
help
guide
that
decision
on
whether
or
not
they
want
to
implement
this
for
their
school
district.
We're
really.
You
know
glad
that
this
is
giving
schools
flexibility
basically
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done
for
their
school,
and
there
are
a
few
different
kinds
of
school
breakfast
options
they
can
implement.
I
I
Yes,
so
this
is
our
contact
information,
so
you
know,
obviously
feel
free
to
shoot
us
an
email.
You
can
always
visit
our
website
and
find
out
more
information
about
us
there
or
you
can
give
us
a
call
yeah.
Thank
you
all
so
much.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Just
yesterday
I
was
reading
a
report
about
the
summer
feeding
program
at
the
federal
level
and
just
two
of
the
changes
that
are
sticking
with
me
today
are
a
child,
can
only
have
one
meal
per
visit
now
and
they
have
to
eat
it
on
site,
which
is
my
understanding
different
than
maybe
we've
had
the
last
couple
of
summers
you
did
touch
on
this,
but
can
you
tell
me
how
that
will
affect
our
kentucky
kiddos
this
summer
and
are
those
changes
immediate?
I
Yeah,
so
what
you're
referring
to
is
called
congregate,
feeding
so
yeah,
it's
basically
where
the
kids
have
to
eat
the
meal
on
site.
So
that
requirement
has
been
waived
the
past
two
years
because
of
the
pandemic
right.
You
know,
obviously
we
weren't
gathering
together,
we
didn't
want
the
kids,
you
know
around
each
other,
spreading
things
around
but
yeah.
I
I
mean
we're
very
concerned
about
going
back
to
that,
because
you
know
that
waiver
has
been
amazing
for
kids
right,
because
you
know
for
little
kids,
who
maybe
are
staying
with
like
older,
siblings
or
you
know
they
don't
have
parents
around,
they
don't
want
their
younger
children
sent
you
know
somewhere
without
right.
Like
you
know,
if
they
don't
have
transportation,
they
don't
want
them
walking
to
a
meal
site,
and
you
know
also
a
lot
of
times.
I
You
know
it
just
becomes
it's
more
cumbersome
right
to
try
and
get
to
a
place
with
your
kid
and
stay
there,
and
and
sometimes
you
know,
these
sites
are
awesome
because
you
can
have
a
congregate
meal
site
like
at
a
library.
So
you
could
take
your
kid
there
for
the
day
and
there's
activities,
but
a
lot
of
these
sites
are
kind
of
just
like
random
places
in
the
community
that
are
specifically
for
eating
meals.
I
And
you
know,
during
the
pandemic
we
had
a
really
great
system
where
schools
could
distribute
meals
via
bus
right
and
they
could
take
the
bus
routes
and
take
them
deliver
them
straight
to
the
kids
houses,
but
unfortunately
yeah.
That's
not
something
yeah.
We
have
to
have
a
waiver
to
do
that,
and
the
usda
and
congress
have
declined
to
extend
those
waivers.
I
So
we
are
very
concerned
about
that,
and
I
do
think
that
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
have
so
many
fewer
sponsors
and
meal
sites,
because
there
are
so
many
more
requirements
that
first
of
all,
some
of
these
sites
and
sponsors
just
won't
ever
meet
them
with
how
you
know,
without
the
waivers
the
way
that
the
the
requirements
are,
they
won't
meet
them,
but
other
places
they
just
don't
have
the
manpower
to
do
that
right.
So
they
don't
have
enough
people
to
distribute
the
food
to
be
at
the
meal
site.
I
They
don't
have
the
resources,
you
know
again.
We
know
that
these
places
that
provide
meals,
largely
our
schools
or
you
know
something
like
that.
We
know
that
they're
already
very
understaffed,
so
yeah,
we're
very
concerned
about
that,
and
so
these
waivers
expire
at
the
end
of
june
technically
june
30th
is
the
last
day,
but
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
I've
talked
to
you
know.
I
Prior
to
summer
beginning
they
were
already
being
advised
just
not
to
do
not
to
use
any
of
the
waivers
from
the
start
of
summer
right
so
that
they
don't
have
to
change
in
the
middle
and
people
get
confused
and
yeah.
So
technically,
like
I
said,
the
waivers
haven't
expired
yet,
but
I
think
most
of
our
meal
sites
have
already
you
know-
are
treating
it
as
if
they
are
expired,
so
yeah.
I
H
Thank
y'all
thank
you
for
what
you
do,
but
the
dark
green
up.
There
really
troubles
my
heart
and
makes
me
very
sad
because
I'm
the
only
member
of
this
committee,
east
of
I-75,
okay,
I
practice
practice
law
and
hazard.
I
was
there
yesterday
and
in
that
area
and
I
think
it's
going
to
get
worse
with
inflation
and
then
the
national
news
report
I
saw
today
doesn't
bode
well
for
the
entire
country
with
the
food
bank
crisis.
I
think
they
called
it.
H
So
I
think
that's
what
we
could
be
getting
here
for
the
need
with
the
fuel
prices
and
heating
air
prices,
etc.
I
didn't
see
many
cars
on
the
road
yesterday.
H
That's
not
a
good
sign
in
east
kentucky,
so
I'm
I
I'm
interested
in
participation
and
if
somebody
could
get
me
a
map
of
farmers
that
are
participating
where
they
are
and
a
map
of
you
know,
participating
counties,
I
think
they're
57
or
was
that
number
did
I
the
county
participation
rates
and
where
the
farmers
are
that
are
participating
once
I
feel
it's
my
place
to
look
into
that
and
perhaps
see
how
we
can
better
incent
or
encourage
or
reach
out
or
educate
farmers
in
east
kentucky
or
promote,
along
with
you
know
our
other
programs
to
fill
that
need
as
we
try
to
transition
from
the
coal
economy.
H
So
I
don't
think
that
situation's
gonna
get
better.
I
think
it's
probably
gonna
get
a
little
worse
before
it
bottoms
out
and
again
as
nice,
kentucky
and-
and
I
represent
all
these
kentucky,
and
it's
very
near
and
dear
to
me
and-
and
I
just
appreciate
what
you
all
are
doing.
But
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
assist
in
doing
that,
we,
I
think
we
need
to
really
be
creative
and
and
put
some
energy
into
identification
reaching
out
and
then
fill
in
the
void.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
chairman,.
B
I
think
all
of
us
wish
we
did
not
need
food
banks,
but
we're
so
appreciative
that
they
are
they're
available
to
help
our
kentucky
families
and,
as
senator
webb
mentioned,
what
we're
seeing
now
with
the
inflationary
issues
that
have
come
that
that
are
here
in
our
state
in
the
in
in
the
country
itself.
We
know
this
is
impacting
people's
ability
to
be
able
to,
with
the
increased
prices,
to
things
on
the
shelf
at
the
grocery.
It's
impacting
so
negatively
of
what
we're
able
to
purchase
there
to
put
in
our
cupboards
at
home.
B
I
know
we're
experiencing
it
at
our
house
and
and
to
see
these
children
see
children
that
could
possibly
go
hungry.
It's
heartbreaking,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
so
very
much
for
what
you
do
and
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
I
Thank
you
all
so
much
and
yeah.
If
you
have
any
follow-up
questions,
feel
free
to
contact
us
we're
happy
to
always
have
conversations
answer
any
questions,
and
you
know,
like
I
said,
I'm
the
advocacy
coordinator
I'll
be
around
to
talk
to
you
all
about.
You
know
some
of
our
advocacy
needs,
but
we
really
appreciate
all
of
your
support.
B
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
all
of
us
to
see
that,
because
I
know
I
have
farmers
there
from
christian
county
that
have
been
participating
and
that
way,
if
we
actually
have,
if
you
could
send
it
to
staff,
or
we
could
send
that
out
and
we'll
also
work
there
within
our
constituents
that
are
growers
and
see
if
we
can
get
some
additional
help
for
you
as
well.
