A
Excuse

we'll
move

to
our
minutes.
Can
I
have
a
motion
on
our
minutes.
A
Second,
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
on
the
minutes
past
next
we'll
have
our
first
presentation
we're
going
to
have
Bill
McCloskey
who's.
The
deputy
executive
director
of
the
Kentucky
office
of
AG
policy
Bill
asks
you
to
come
to
the
desk
and
please
proceed.
E
E
Good
morning,
Bill
McCloskey
Deputy
executive
director
I
am
going
solo.
This
morning
our
director
Lacefield
is
down
speaking
in
Caldwell
County
this
morning.
I
believe
it
kadez
is
the
county
seat
there,
representative
Dawson,
so
you
know,
I've
had
the
The
Good
The
Good
Fortune,
now
of
over
21
years.
E
Being
part
of
this
initiative
that
you
all
have
established
and
supported
over
700
million
dollars
represent
our
Senate
of
parrot
in
growing
agriculture
from
what
was
a
four
billion
dollar
industry
as
we've,
given
you
updates
in
the
past
over
seven
billion
dollars
in
cash
receipts,
so
we're
going
to
start
with
giving
you
the
update
on
the
Kentucky
agricultural
Finance
Corporation
board
meeting
that
met
recently.
E
So
you
can
see
the
update
where
we
approved
10
loans
for
1
million,
seven
hundred
ninety
six
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
and
you
can
see
total
project
cost
almost
eight
million
dollars
and
of
these
10
loans.
We've
also
listed
out
the
lenders
that
we
work
with
across
the
state
and
provide
these
below
Market
interest
loans
at
2.75
percent
and
as
I
was
reviewing
this
morning.
E
I
know
we
were
going
to
have
a
update
from
Farm
Service
Agency
here
that
we
have
of
the
10
loans,
one
two
three
four
five,
six
of
them
or
60
percent-
have
FSA
guarantees.
So
it
indicates
how
state
government,
working
with
your
lenders
across
the
state
and
also
working
with
USDA,
to
provide
these
access
to
Capital
to
our
Farmers
across
the
state
and
there's
also
two
of
those
loans.
Representative
Roberts
had
Direct
Loans,
so
it's
a
way
to
share
the
risk
or
mitigate
the
risk.
E
At
the
same
time,
providing
again
below
Market
interest
rates
representative
read
to
our
Farmers
across
the
state.
In
many
of
these
cases,
the
lender,
based
on
their
underwriting
underwriting
standards,
would
not
be
able
to
provide
all
the
finance
or
Finance
the
project.
Some
cases
up
to
100
percent
so
with
the
Kentucky
AG
Finance
Corporation
we're
able
to
make
that
funds
available
as
well
as
bring
in
FSA
on
a
direct
loan
and
Loan
guarantees
and
we're
currently
at
Finance.
Corporation
is
a
hundred
and
three
million
dollar
lending
Authority
that
we
have
in
in
the
state.
E
We've
got
700
loans
on
the
books
and
we're
generating
over
a
million
dollars
a
month
revolving
back
in
that
we
can
now
loan
out.
E
No
questions
I'll,
move
on
to
the
AG
development
board
action
you
can
see
on
page
two
is
update
on
the
programs
are
approved,
we've
got
the
the
Cape
County
Agriculture
investment
program,
deceased
farm,
animal
removal,
Next,
Generation,
Farm
shared
use
equipment.
We
did
have
one
applicant
that
was
Monroe
County
they're
approved
for
66
375
dollars,
and
that
was
for
the
purchase
of
three
no-till
drills.
So
Monroe
County
does
a
good
job
over
10
pieces
of
equipment
that
they
rent
out
to
the
farmers
in
Monroe
County.
E
Moving
On
We're
on
page
three
representative
Pratt,
you
see
an
update
or
an
amendment
to
Oldham
County
request
an
additional
twelve
thousand
six
hundred
fifteen
dollars
to
bring
total
to
forty
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars
to
support
them.
The
cape
program
in
Oldham
County,
getting
into
projects
from
page
four
Sierra
Enterprises
in
Pendleton
County
requested
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
state
and
County
funds
to
build
a
Community,
Education
and
Commercial
Kitchen
previously
had
been
renting
the
buildings
the
applicant
wanted
to
bring
the
operation
back
on
the
farm.
E
When
the
active
number
board
looks
at
a
project
like
this,
they
look
at
how
what
how
big
the
impact
is
to
other
Farmers
based
on
the
application
it
was.
It
was
limited
so
that
this
with
this
application,
the
agimal
board
supported
the
county
money,
which
was
six
six
thousand
dollars.
The
applicants
would
be
eligible
to
pursue
a
loan
through
the
Kentucky
agriculture
Finance
Corporation
next
is
on
page
five
Greenup
County
Extension
District
board
was
approved
for
250
000
dollars
to
establish
a
farmer's
market
in
Greenup
County.
So
this
is
a
priority.
E
The
AG
development
board
will
they
will
make
State
money
available
to
support
farmers
markets
across
the
state.
Over
50
farmers
markets
have
been
funded
with
these
development
funds.
This
was
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
project.
There
will
be
located
next
to
the
extension
which
it's
convenient
for
extension
agents
that
can
help
the
vendors
develop
the
farmer's
market
and
also
provide
technical
assistance.
Next
we're
on
page
six,
Beechwood
Independent
Schools
was
approved
for
up
to
76
500
in
County
money,
so
Greenhouse
projects
are
limited.
E
The
the
model
has
been
the
investment
model
from
the
AG
development
board
has
been
supported
with
County
money,
and
so
they
are
eligible
to
pursue
County
Monies
to
support
this
greenhouse
project.
E
Page
seven
gav
meat
processing,
so
this
was
approved
for
count,
State
money
and
County
money.
Another
priority
of
the
AG
development
board,
where
they'll
make
State
money
available
to
support
meat
processing,
we've
documented
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
this
makes
over
40
meat
processors,
they've
received
Financial
incentives
of
the
80
that
we've
identified
that
provide
custom
and
USDA
services.
E
E
And
then
you've
got
the
press
releases
as
at
the
end
there
representative,
any
questions.
I.
A
A
A
Before
you
begin,
Dean
I'll
share
with
committee
members
over
the
last
week,
or
so
there
within
Christian
County
and
West
Kentucky,
we're
receiving
quite
a
few
phone
calls
concerning
drought
conditions
that
we're
experiencing
issues
there
I
know
of
individuals
that
have
sowed
pastures
here
over
the
last
month
or
so
and
with
the
lack
of
rain
I.
Think
we've
been
over
30
days
without
any
rain
there
and
that
crop's
not
come
it's
not
coming
up.
A
We,
they
informed
me
that
it
would
be
very
informational
for
all
of
us
to
have
Dean
come
in
and
speak
to
us
to
get
have
information
there
from
the
USDA
of
possible
things
that
our
Farmers
might
be
able
to
reach
out
to
for
assistance.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
both
for
being
here
and
Dean.
Welcome
you
back.
We
greatly
appreciate
you
and
we
do
miss
you
in
the
house,
but
we
know
you're
doing
a
wonderful
job
where
you're
at.
C
Well,
thank
you
Mr
chairman
again,
I'm
Dean
shamore,
with
FSA,
and
just
briefly,
if
I
may
just
share
a
story
about
cbnb,
you
know
I
enjoyed
being
a
colleague
of
his
and
I
knew
him
before
I
ran
for
office
and
fact
that
he
consulted
with
me
some
before
I
ran
and
while
I
was
here,
he
was
always
a
general
to
me
and
and
I
know
he
was
a
gentleman
with
all
the
members
he
served
with
so
again
like
you,
all
I
will
miss
seeing
CB
and
his
wife
was
normally
a
tag
along.
C
F
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Angela
Watson
and
I
do
work
for
the
Farm
Service
Agency
I
am
not
in
fact
the
farm
program's
Chief,
but
I
am
a
farm
program
specialist
at
our
state
office.
I've
been
there
for
about
three
years,
but
I've
been
with
the
agency
for
almost
20
and
spent
the
majority
of
those
years
working
in
our
County
Office.
A
couple
of
different
County
offices
and
I
love
getting
to
serve
the
farmers,
and
thank
you
all
for
having
me
here
today
so.
C
F
Thank
you
Dean,
so
FSA
does
have
several
disaster
programs
that
can
assist
producers
who
are
facing
a
drought
in
your
folders.
Today
you
have
a
copy
of
this
brochure,
which
is
just
disaster
programs
at
a
glance,
and
these
are
the
programs
that
both
FSA
nrcs
and
RMA,
which
is
risk
management,
have
available
that
for
all
kinds
of
Disaster
Assistance.
So
you
can
kind
of
see
as
you
look
across
there.
It
shows
the
different
eligible
loss
conditions
that
apply
to
each
program
and
when
those
programs
May
kick
into
place.
F
These
are
all
programs
that
were
are
permanent
programs
that
are
part
of
the
2014
Farm
Bill.
Some
of
the
programs
have
been
around
from
previous
Farm
bills
as
well,
and
they
they're
they're
so
useful
that
we're
continuing
to
have
those
programs
from
Farm
Bill
to
farm
bill,
sometimes
with
a
few
modifications,
and
sometimes
it's
just
the
same
program
in
place.
So
as
you
look
down
through
there,
you
can
see
the
ones
that
where
drought
is
considered
an
eligible
loss,
condition
for
all
of
those
programs
and
before
I
talk
about
a
few
of
those
specific
programs.
F
The
31st
through
November
the
15th.
So
as
that
brochure
demonstrates,
drought
is
an
eligible
loss
condition
and
it
is
determined
solely
from
information
collected
and
disseminated
through
the
U.S
drought
monitor.
Your
packet
contains
a
printout
of
last
week's
drought
monitor
because
this
week's
hadn't
appeared
yet
when
I
left
the
office.
But
on
your
screen
is
the
most
recent.
So
you
can
see
the
changes
that
have
occurred
over
the
last
week.
F
Using
the
drought,
monitor,
like
I
said,
is,
is
mandated
by
the
farm
bill,
and
this
keeps
it
from
being
a
decision
that
has
to
be
made
on
a
case-by-case
space.
It
makes
it
consistent
across
the
whole
country.
Everyone
is
using
the
data
on
the
drought
Monitor
and
once
those
conditions
any
of
those
conditions,
are
met.
The
programs
kick
into
place
and
producers
can
be,
can
begin
enrollment.
F
Our
offices
use
a
variety
of
methods
to
reach
out
to
the
producers,
and
let
them
know
when
these,
when
these
conditions
have
kicked
in
they
monitor
this
drought,
monitor
weekly,
especially
when
they
know
that
that
there
have
have
been
rainfall
shortages
and,
of
course,
we
know
that
rainfall
shortages
affect
our
crops
and
our
pasture
before
it.
Necessarily
these
programs
before
these
programs
would
kick
in
based
on
the
drought
monitor.
But
this
is
what
we're
required
to
use
for
those
programs.
F
Some
of
the
ways
our
offices
connect
with
producers.
We
have
a
monthly
newsletter.
We
have
text
alerts.
Producers
are
encouraged
to
sign
up
for
those
methods
of
communication.
They
also
do
Outreach
meetings
phone
calls
and
that
sort
of
stuff,
when
we
know
that
these
programs
are
going
to
kick
in,
because
we
want
our
producers
to
be
able
to
participate
and
take
advantage
when
they've
been
severely
affected
by
the
by
the
conditions.
F
So
a
quick
look
at
a
few
of
the
programs
that
we
do
have
the
primary
program
that
we
administer
when
drought
occurs
is
the
livestock
forage
program.
Lfp
and
lfp
compensates
eligible
livestock
producers
for
grazing
losses
incurred
because
of
the
drought
conditions
on
eligible
pasture
land
during
the
normal
grazing
season
and
I.
Believe
you
guys
have
a
copy
of
the
email
from
Jennifer
Farmer
in
your
packets
as
well.
She
is
our
firm
programs
Chief,
and
that
gives
some
more
details
about
what
I'm
saying
here
today
as
well.
F
F
Livestock
producers
who
suffer
losses
may
also
be
eligible
for
reimbursement
if
they
had
to
assume
additional
Transportation
costs
for
water
because
of
the
drought,
and
that
program
is
the
emergency
assistance
for
livestock,
honeybees
and
farm-raised
FISH
program
or
elap
for
short
and
the
third
program
that
that
primarily
kicks
in
when
there
are
drought,
conditions
is
nap,
which
is
our
non-insured
crop,
Disaster
Assistance
Program,
and
this
program
is
for
producers
of
non-traditional
crops
who
have
purchased
crop
insurance
for
those,
so
risk
management,
association,
underwrites
crop
insurance
for
traditional
covered
Commodities
and
in
Kentucky.
F
Those
are
generally
corn,
soybeans
wheat
for
grain
and
tobacco,
any
other
crop
that
is
grown
because
RMA
doesn't
off,
doesn't
underwrite
traditional
crop
insurance
policies.
For
those
you
can
purchase
that
policy
policy
through
FSA
under
our
nap
program,
and
if
you
suffer
losses
to
your
yield
and
you
have
that
coverage,
then
payment
can
be
made
just
like
it
would
through
regular
traditional
crop
insurance
so
that
that
assists
with
mitigating,
like
I
mentioned
most
Kentucky
counties,
corn,
soybeans,
wheat
and
tobacco-
are
covered
commodities
for
rma's
crop
insurance
policies.
F
G
Just
a
question:
thank
you
all
for
being
here
with
us
today.
You
know
when
I
look
at
that
drought
monitor
a
lot
of
this
you're
not
eligible,
especially
on
the
lfp
program,
you're
not
eligible
unless
it's
a
D2.
Is
that
correct,
correct.
G
And
so
the
only
part
of
the
state
we
got
that's
covered
in
that
is
the
Far
Western
part
of
the
state.
Is
that
right,
correct
and
I
know
whether
it
be
in
Shelby
County,
it's
in
the
d0
or
a
lot
of
other
counties
around
there
I
mean
the
effect
is
already
there
and
it's
a
lot
worse.
C
B
G
And
I
don't
see
us
in
watching
this
over
the
past
years,
I
don't
see
us
ever
getting
into
D2,
so
we'll
never
be
eligible,
even
though
the
losses
are
there
because
I
know
everybody
in
Shelby
County
in
a
d0.
Normally
you
wouldn't
start
feeding,
hay
and
stuff,
supplementing
the
food
source
for
the
livestock
until
in
the
November.
Something
like
that
and
they're
doing
that
already,
so
just
something
to
pass
up
the
chain
that
the
way
that
is
done,
maybe
isn't
sufficient
enough
to
cover
some
of
the
hardships
that
farmers
have.
F
Yeah,
we
did
have
two
counties
right
now:
they're
showing
a
D2
but
two
of
our
Far
Western
Kentucky
counties
that
are
currently
a
D2
were
a
D3
in
a
few
weeks
prior
and
so
at
the
D3
level
that
lfp
program
kicks
in.
As
soon
as
you
hit
a
D3,
it
doesn't
require
an
extended
time
in
D3
or
D4,
and
so
they
have
been
able
to
take
advantage
of
lfp
for
for
a
small
payment
and
under
D3
and
D4.
F
If
that
condition
lasts
for
four
weeks,
an
additional
payment
kicks
in,
but
as
of
today,
only
two
Counties
have
have
been
able
to
use
lfp
at
all.
So
yeah.
G
I've
always
got
lots
of
questions
and
it's
for
Dean,
and
this
is
not
related
to
the
disaster
or
anything
else,
but
just
a
question.
I
noticed
where
the
State
committee
has
decided
or
moved
forward
with
separating
Woodford
and
Fayette
County
I
know
that's
it
on
the
committee
for
eight
years
and
is
a
tough
decision
to
combine
counties,
but
in
Woodford
and
Fayette
that
had
shared
management.
You
decided
not
you.
G
The
committee
decided
to
separate
those
counties,
hire
an
additional
CED,
keep
Staffing
pretty
much
the
same.
The
way
I
understand
it.
Fayette
has
two
pts
and
Woodford
has
one
PT
and
then,
as
you
know,
and
you've
been
to
Shelby
County,
and
you
know
what
my
complaint
is:
we've
got
counties
around
the
state
that
have
multiple
counties
that
are
much
larger
farming
counties
than
Woodford
and
Fayette.
G
And
could
you
explain
to
me
the
justification
in
separating
those
counties,
keeping
them
staffed
the
way
they
are
and
then
having
other
counties
that
are
have
a
lot
more
AG
production
than
what
those
do
and
them
still
being
terribly
short
staffed.
I
mean
I,
don't
understand
that
that
doesn't
seem
right.
So.
C
Okay
yeah,
so
so
they
they
do
multiple.
So
we
have
a
dashboard
that
shows
the
the
amount
of
work
that
goes
on
in
those
offices
and
how
many
people
that
that
those
those
officers
can
justify.
Of
course,
the
problem
is
that
number
may
be
240,
but
we're
selling
at
208..
If
you
add
all
those
up,
it
may
be,
240
people
were
selling
it
208,
so
we're
we're
not
selling.
As
far
as
you
would
think
that
the
way
it
would
be
is
budget
wise.
C
So
if
we
had
a
CD
making
more
money
than
a
PT,
why
don't
you
get
two
pts
and
get
rid
of
a
CD,
but
that's
not
that's
not
how
they
do
it.
They
do
it
by
by
people
instead
of
how
much
a
person
cost
us.
So
I
I
think
the
currently
Fayette
may
have
one
CD
and
one
PT.
But
you
know
if
a
PT
goes
I,
don't
know
if
they'll
get
another
PT,
you
know
I,
think
they're.
C
C
That
state
committee
may
not
decide
to
refill
that
PT
in
in
in
Fayette
County,
so
that
that's
a
that's
a
possibility
there,
but
it
I
wish
we
had
a
dozen
more
people
and
I
know:
Shelbyville
did
get
a
new
PT,
I
think
started
back
in
August,
I
hope
they're
getting
trained
up,
so
they
have
a
CD
and
two
pts
there
now,
hopefully
they're
getting
that
want
to
be
trained
up
to
offer
good
service
and
I
know.
C
Shelbyville
does
cover
a
lot
of
the
counties,
including
Jefferson
County,
which
you
know,
there's
a
big
push
for
urban
AG.
So
if
Urban
AG
was
to
take
off,
they
would
be
and
and
taking
care
of
those
counties.
I
mean
that
County
and
all
those
programs
as
well
and
the
urban
AG
may
take.
They
may
have
just
as
much
time
spending
with
the
person
that
does
container
than
they
do
you
with
your
farming
operation.
C
So
once
some
of
that
data
gets
mixed
in
you
know
it
would
justify
more
people
there,
except
they're,
constantly
look
at
that.
It's
a
juggling
act
to
fill
those
positions
and,
like
I,
said,
if
we
had
if
they
gave
us
they
this
year,
they
cut
me
two
County
staff,
which
that's
County
positions
that
you're
talking
about,
and
they
increased
me
to
Federal
staff,
but
they
did
also
they
allowed
us
to
hire.
C
They
allow
us
to
put
people
and
what's
card
used
to
be
called
our
cot
program
to
train
them
for
those
CD
positions,
not
CDT,
they
gave
us
were
when
they're
in
training.
They
don't
count
against
our
cap,
so
that
kind
of
helps
us
a
little
bit
with
the
with
putting
people
in
these
offices,
but
but
you're
right,
and
it
is
a
concern
and
and
I
and
that
that
is
not
my
call.
That
is
the
state
committee's
call,
and
they
you
know
they
do
look
at
that.
And,
of
course,
that's
like
everything
else.
C
It's
it's
lobbying
who
lobbies
them
for
for
those
positions:
that's
not
only
District
directors,
but
that's
people.
They
know
in
the
community,
I
mean
we
have
a
board
member
from
Woodford
County,
so
I'm
sure
he
had
some
influence
in
that.
Just
like
you
would
if
it
was
your
county,
and
so
you
know
that's
there's
politics
into
everything,
but
you
know
I
urge
you
to
keep
in
in
touch
with
those
State
committee
members
and
just
let
them
know
and
invite
them
over
to
look
and
I.
C
Think
that's
that's
huge
and
and
the
district
directors
when
they
get
in
front
of
the
state
committee-
and
you
know
they
get
the
lobby
for
those
positions
as
well.
But
it's
not
it's
not
like.
We've
got
20
people
and
we're
we're
trying
to
find
a
spot
to
put
them
it's
it's
really.
It
is
really
a
tough
decision,
as
you
know,
where
to
put
those
people.
G
A
Dean
I'm
going
to
return
back
to
the
issue
here
with
the
with
with
the
drought
that
we're
experiencing
right.
There
did
we
release
the
CRP
program
ground
to
be
able
to
have
access
for
individuals
either
to
cut
that
as
hay
or
put
cattle
on.
F
Yes,
I
believe
in
some
of
the
counties
we
did
as
as
requested
I'm
I
can't
can't
say
Which
counties
that
we
did
that
in
but
I
know.
That
is
an
option
that
CRP
can
be
released
for
hanging
grazing
during
drought
conditions.
F
I'm
not
sure
we.
A
When
we're
looking
here
at
the
as
we
when
you
look
at
the
map
and
I
know,
I
was
looking
at
what
was
what
would
have
been
the
end
of
September.
The
first
week
of
October,
the
the
biggest
part
of
the
state
was
in
a
d0
and
now
I
look
across
the
south
of
the
southern
part
of
the
state
that
has
gone
to
a
D1
and,
as
I
said,
our
phones
were
starting.
People
are
starting
to
reach
out
to
us
and
ask
these
questions.
Should.
A
As
we
move
forward,
if
we
see
the
lack
of
rain
continue
right
here,
Dean
should
we
as
a
committee,
or
should
we
reach
out
from
whether,
from
this
committee,
the
agriculture
committee
to
either
the
AG
commissioner
or
the
governor
to
submit
a
request
to
to
the
secretary
of
agriculture
to
have
a
closer
look?
If
we
see
these
conditions,
worser.
C
C
You
all
were
to
reach
out
to
you,
know:
Sarah
McConnell's
office,
be
a
great
office,
he's
very
involved
in
the
farm
bill
and
see
if
you
can
get
a
conversation
around
that
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
other
members
of
Congress
in
the
state
who
are
who
are
active
with
the
farm
bill
and
to
see
if
you
could
talk
to
them
about
the
drought,
to
see
if
it's
something
they
can
change.
Of
course,
the
changes
changes
for
Kentucky,
it's
changed
all
over
and
chairman
Senator
hornbach.
C
C
It's
like
a
lot
of
this
damage
has
already
been
done,
so
you
know,
and
then
you
get
a
rain
and
then
it
resets
everything
and
when
the
it
resets
the
monitor
that
the
programs
are
paid
off
of
when
the
damage
has
really
has
really
already
he
been
done
so
I.
Don't
you
know
Angie
you've
been
doing
this
longer
than
I
have
for
sure
I
don't
know
if
a
letter
would,
if
there's
there's
really
nothing
set
in
place
for
a
letter
to
trigger
I
guess
right,
no.
F
Unfortunately,
most
of
the
time
when
we
get
what
the
ad
hoc
programs
that
are
outside
of
the
farm
bill,
it's
for
a
large
Nationwide
issue
like
several
of
the
programs
that
came
out
to
mitigate
the
the
coronavirus
effects.
You
know
the
the
all
of
the
different
things
that
happen
with
being
able
to
Market
crops
and
things
like
that.
We
had
some
ad
hoc
programs
that
kicked
into
place
for
that,
but
as
far
as
just
for
us
I'm
not
currently
aware
of
of
anything,
we
could
trigger
right
now
outside
of
this.
A
Yes,
those
were
the
and,
of
course,
as
I
said,
whenever
County,
where
I
represent,
is
very
large
agricultural
County
and
when,
when
you
go
through
and
see
the
change
in
the
pastures,
just
over
the
last
two
or
three
weeks,
it's
it's
incredible.
Yeah
Senator,
Hornback.
G
F
G
Releases
it
for
hanging
crazing,
but
it
has
to
hit
a
D3
and
like
Angela,
you
said,
we've
only
got
a
couple
of
counties
that
hit
a
D3,
so
even
all
the
other
counties
up
my
way
even
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
CRP
ground
that
could
be
grazed
or
hated
or
something
right
now,
but
we
don't
hit
that
National
trigger.
F
C
C
A
E
C
When
you
all
had
me
here
last,
it
was
about
the
tornado
and
there
has
been
a
program
announced
just
the
guidelines
of
that
program
have
not
been
announced,
but
talking
about
an
ad
hoc
program.
This
is
this
came
up
and
the
administration
has
approved
20
million
dollars
to
be
used
for
tornado.
So
it's
not
just
Kentucky
I.
Think
Oklahoma
is
another
area,
but
it's
for
grain
bin
replacement.
So
it's
basically
for
storage
and
they
haven't,
like
I
said
they
haven't.
C
I
know:
20
million
can
go
pretty
quick
too,
but
it's
it's
really,
in
my
opinion,
meant
to
be
for
the
people
who
lost
grain
storage
and
that
could
be
for
people
who
also
used
to
truck
the
Mayfield
grain,
which
was
Senator,
was
10
million,
10
million
bushels
of
grain
that
no
longer
have
a
place
to
go
and
with
diesel
fuel
higher,
so
I
know
the
governor.
What
did
he?
They
gave
a
something
like
a
three
million
dollar
fund
down
there
to
help
with
some
of
that,
but
this
is
going
to
be
20
million.
C
We
just
don't
know
the
outline
yet
and
yes
I
know
people
are
already
looking
for.
It's
Kylie
should
have
already
happened.
Maybe,
but
it
hasn't
we,
the
guidelines
haven't,
come
out
yet,
but
hopefully
soon
but
people
who
they
could
even
be
retroactive,
possibly
for
people
who
got
loans
to
build
grain
bins
it
may
it
may
give
money
to
I
think
up
to
75
cost
share
on
on
building
those
grain
facilities
there
if
they
lost
if
they
lost
their
their
grain
storage.
C
But
I
said
again:
it's
only
20
million
dollars
and
we
build
grain
bins.
20
million
dollars
can
go
pretty
quick,
but
hopefully
they
can
come
up
with
a
way
that
it
helps
everybody
a
little
bit
and
maybe
that
that
you
know
does
have
a
big
need
for
grain
storage
in
that
area.
A
That's
the
reason
one
of
the
this
was.
We
asked
you
to
be
here
for
information,
so
we
could
get
out
to
the
agriculture
Community
I
know:
I,
have
individuals
at
home
who
have
lost
Barns
and
did
not
replace
those
barns,
because,
even
though
they
were
insured,
the
the
the
cost
to
rebuild
was
more
than
what
the
the
the
the
the
barns
were
cover
for
our
own
insurance.
A
So
I
greatly
appreciate
you
coming
in,
and
this
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
take
this
information
back
home
and
share
with
those
that
they're
they're
getting
nervous
and
one
of
the
things
our
Farmers,
unlike
any
other
business,
they
have
they
economical
impacts
that
might
affect
one
business,
agricultural
deals
with
that,
but
then
also
weather.
On
top
of
it
and
the
weather,
you
have
no
control
on.
So
thank
you
all
so,
both
very
much
you.
C
Triggered
me
with
something
else,
so
you
talked
about
the
barn,
so
we
do
have
a
farm
storage
facility
loans
that
are
available
at
our
County
offices
and
there
are
still
I
think
last
month's
rate
was
September.
I've
heard
October
is
like
2.8
something
percent
I
mean
these
are
very
good
loans.
I
think
you
go
up
to
12
years
on
those,
so
it
could
help
people
build
back
buildings
for
for
Farm
storage
facility,
Loans
pay.
F
And
I'll
I'll
add
one
more
thing:
if
I
may
a
couple
of
really
good
informational
sites
when
it
comes
to
USDA
programs,
especially
FSA,
so
we
have
a
website
called
farmers.gov.
It's
very
easy
to
remember,
and
that
is
the
customer
facing
website.
I'm
I'm,
very
pleased
with
that
site.
I
work
with
beginning
Farmers
as
well,
and
our
minority
farmers,
and
it
has
a
lot
of
really
good
tools.
There's
loan
Discovery
tools
and
there's
you
can
find
your
local
service
center.
F
C
H
Mr
chairman,
not
really
a
question
I
want
to
I
think
this
is
very
appropriate
for
for
USDA
to
be
here
and
I.
Think
there's
so
much
going
on
on
the
federal
and
state
level
and
it's
important
from
policy
standpoint.
We
may
not
always
agree,
but
but
we
certainly
need
to
know,
what's
going
on
and
communicate
and
all
that
is
great
I'm,
just
sorry
that
I
was
late,
but
that
pesky
day
job
sometimes
gets
in
the
way.
H
But
I
am
glad
I
got
here
to
defend
those
of
us
who
Ranch
in
Woodford
County
I
got
in
on
the
tail
end
of
that
I
just
want
to
say:
I,
don't
it's
not
my
district
but
I!
You
know,
I
have
a
few
cows
down
there
so
well.
I'd
beg
the
chairman
on
that.
Thank
you.
A
A
I've
mentioned
today
and
earlier
I
had
a
customer
yesterday,
one
of
our
larger
Farmers
there
in
Christian
County,
and
we
were
having
this
very
discussion
and
I
mentioned
that
USDA
was
going
to
be
here
at
the
committee
meeting
and
he
was
very
appreciative
of
requesting
you
to
be
here
so
that
we
are
able
to
find
this
because
we
spread
that
information
to
our
constituents
home.
But
thank
you
both
very,
very
much
very
welcome.
Thank.
A
Our
next
meeting
will
be
November
10th
at
10,
30
and
I.
Think
our
new
co-chairman
will
be
taking
over
that
and
Senator
Hornback.
We
do
welcome
you
here,
it's
under
circumstances.
We
wish
we
did
not
have
to
welcome
you
here,
but
we
know
I
know.
I'll
have
someone
here
and
the
whole
committee
knows
we'll
have
someone
here
who
truly
loves
agriculture
here
in
Kentucky.
