as

right
here.
We
do
we're

back
in
the
swing
of
things
of
our
tobacco
settlement.
A
C
Well,
chairman
dawson,
it
is
our
intent
to
have
a
short
meeting,
but
I
can't
promise
that
with
been
quite
a
while,
since
we've
had
a
chance
to
to
be
with
you,
but
it
is
so
good
to
be
back
in
person
with
with
this
committee
and
to
go
over
what
we
have
done.
I
guess
since
january,
but
for
the
record
this
is
brian
lacefield
executive
director
of
the
kentucky
office
policy.
C
Joining
with
me
is
bill.
Mccloskey
deputy
executive
director,
proud
to
state
the
kentucky
office
of
ag
policy
is
fully
staffed.
We,
I
have
celebrated
my
year
anniversary
now
april.
The
16th
was
was
one
year
that
I've
been
in
place
here
with
the
kentucky
office
of
ag
policy
and
as
we
reported
every
time
we've
been
here
with
introductions
of
new
staff,
you
see,
we've
had
some
turnover
throughout
the
the
last
year.
It
is
now
to
the
point
I
have
hired
50
of
my
staff
and
in
one
year.
C
For
what
we've
been
able
to
continue
to
do
both
the
veterans
that
have
been
there
and
some
some
they're
considered
veterans
when
they've
been
there
a
year
and
three
months,
but
we're
calling
them
veterans
at
this
place
and
others
like
bill
that
have
been
there
since
day,
one
of
the
office
of
ag
policy,
but
what
they
have
been
able
to
accomplish
is
we've
moved
an
agency
from
one
constitutional
office
to
another
and
be
able
to
administer
these
funds,
these
programs,
these
projects
and
these
loans
to
kentucky's
farmers
without
missing
a
beat,
but
it's
also
a
testament
to
the
folks
that
we
continue
to
hire
that
we
are
getting
some
of
the
absolute
best
that
our
our
universities
are
producing
and
they're
coming
to
to
work.
C
For
us,
the
turnover
is
something
we'll
continue
to
to
deal
with,
because
when
you
hire
our
great
people,
they
often
get
other
opportunities
and
and
and
take
those.
But
I
brought
a
few
with
me
today,
more
than
just
the
fact
bill
and
I
like
to
travel
with
an
entourage.
We
we
actually
thought
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
bring
bring
some
and
let
you
all
meet
this
group
that'll.
C
Some
will
be
with
us
long
long-term
others
are
interns,
but
the
first
one
I
want
to
introduce
is
hannah
johnson
and
she's.
One
of
these
that's
working
on
being
a
veteran
and
she's
been
here
since
august,
and
she
is
going
to
be
taking
over
the
role
of
getting
you
all
the
reports
each
month
that
are
coming
out.
She
is
our
our
boards
and
special
events
manager
and
takes
care
of
all
the
coordination
with
all
of
our
two
different
boards
that
we
work
with
so
hannah.
C
All
right
next
is
sarah
bryant.
She
she
was
my
first
hire.
She
was
hired
in
may
of
last
year.
She
is
our
programs
manager
and
she
is
the
point
person-
and
I
pulled
these
out
this
morning
for
96
kate
programs,
28
youth
ag
incentive
programs,
19
shared
use,
programs,
21
dead,
animal
removal,
programs
and
1080
county
council
members
across
the
state.
C
Now
that
those
numbers
were
just
what
we
we
did
in
the
last
the
last
year,
so
her
phone
rings
non-stop,
but
she
is
doing
a
fantastic
job
and
what
she's
doing
so?
Sarah?
Thank
you.
Then
I've
got
my
two
two
newest
full-time
hires
on
on
this
side.
Here
we've
got
jessalyn
watson,
who
is
from
henderson
county
and
she's.
She
graduated
from
uk
a
year
ago,
had
been
working
with
the
the
cattlemen's
association
and
chelsea
smithers
who's
from
here
in
franklin,
county
and
just
graduated
earlier
this
month
from
uk.
C
C
We've
had
good
success,
we've
had
hired
former
interns
in
the
past,
but
we've
got
abigail
mattingly
from
washington
county
and
she
waved
there
and
she
is
at
western
kentucky
university,
my
alma
mater
and
she'll
finish
up
this
year
and
then
isaiah
pruitt
from
larue
county
and
he
is
at
murray
and
he
he
has
a
podcast
that
he
has
done.
That
was
part
of
his
ffa
sae
project
and
I
was,
I
was
fortunate
to
be
one
of
his
guests
on
there.
C
Along
back
when
I
was
in
the
the
former
position
with
fsa-
and
I
know
a
few
months
ago,
we
had
dale
dobson,
come
and
do
his
presentation
on
the
mental
health
and
suicide
awareness
and
isaiah
has
done
a
podcast
with
him
on
that
topic.
C
Well,
since,
since
I
saw
you
last
and
you
all
were
in
session,
can
I
excuse.
D
C
Well
great
olivia
is
thank
you
bill.
She
is
one
of
our
members
of
our
loan
department
that
works
in
kentucky
ag
finance
and
she
joined
us
a
few
months
ago
and
is
off
to
a
to
a
great
start
there.
So
olivia
sorry,
I
didn't
even
think
you're
sitting
over
there
so
glad
we
got
to
recognize
her
brian.
A
Before
you
go
any
further,
I
just
want
to
welcome
you've
got.
It
looks
like
you've
got
a
great
staff,
that's
working
behind
you
and
I
want
to
share
with
each
of
you.
I've
known
I've
known
director
lacefield
for
many
many
years,
and
now
he
will
be
a
good
person
he
and
bill.
A
Both
will
be
good
people
for
what
your
experience
that
you're
picking
up,
whether
you're
an
intern
or
you're,
starting
to
work
there
and
you're
in
a
position
that
you're
going
to
make
a
huge
impact
not
only
on
agriculture
in
kentucky,
but
across
the
entire
commonwealth
for
every
citizen.
So
I
want
to
welcome.
You've
got
looks
like
a
great
staff.
C
C
Well,
while
you
all
were
in
session,
it
was
meeting
season
across
the
state.
The
winter
months
are
when
have
all
the
meetings.
We
were
back
to
the
majority
of
these
being
back
in
person,
after
two-year
hiatus
from
the
majority
of
the
meetings,
and
it
was
a
great
opportunity
for
continued
outreach
and
education
with
with
our
projects
and
programs
just
want
to
hit
a
few
of
them
that
that
we
participated
in
across
the
state,
the
commodity
conference
and
bowling
green,
the
cattlemen's
conference
that
was
in
lexington.
C
We
brought
our
ag
finance
board
and
had
the
board
meeting
in
conjunction
with
the
cattlemen's
conference
there,
the
university
of
kentucky
ag
econ
program.
They
do
a
series
of
lender
meetings
across
the
state.
We
were
able
to
to
be
a
part
of
those
and
gave
us
a
chance
to
interact
with
our
participating
lenders.
With
the
the
ag
finance
program.
We
had
meetings
in
owensboro
and
lexington
owensboro
grain
day,
one
of
the
biggest
one
day.
C
C
But
I
was
able,
after
the
the
grand
rivers
event
just
to
stop
in
and
celebrate
the
retirement
of
randall
morgan
with
the
farm
service
agency
there
and
in
hopkinsville
service
center
randall
has
retired.
After
a
long
career,
he
was
a
mentor
to
me
as
I
started
work
in
that
community
22
years
ago,
and
I
was
proud
to
be
able
to
stop
in
and
honor
him
after
a
a
legacy
of
work
that
he
did.
C
I
know
he
helped
many
farmers
in
that
community
navigate
the
the
challenging
times
in
the
80s,
as
well
as
many
others
getting
started
with
what
what
they
were
doing
had
a
chance
to
speak
to
three
different
chamber
events,
the
owensboro
rooster
booster
and
you
that
that
is
a
high-energy,
hugely
attended
event
in
davis
county.
C
Then,
following
that
did
the
henderson
county
ag
breakfast
and
the
henry
county
farm
to
city
luncheon.
All
those
were
great
because
they
were
non-ag
groups.
It
was
a
chance
to
showcase
what
this
ag
development
dollars
have
done
over
the
last
22
years,
statewide
and
in
each
of
these
communities
to
to
show
the
impact
in
these
the
communities
where
agriculture
is
so
important
and
what
they
have
done
and
in
each
of
those
presentations.
C
I
always
include
points
in
there
to
talk
about
the
vision
and
the
foresight
that
the
general
assembly
had
in
in
house
bill
611
with
what
you
all
were
able
to
do,
your
your
predecessors
and
senator
webb.
You
were
you-
were
there
implementing
this
to
to
set
aside
such
a
significant
portion
of
these
master
settlement
dollars
to
go
back
into
the
the
mission
of
diversifying
kentucky
agriculture
and
growing
our
our
agriculture
receipts,
and
it's
great
to
see
this
with
nearly
700
million
dollars
that
have
been
invested
in
the
majority
of
these
in
cost-share
programs.
C
So
we've
been
able
to
leverage
over
a
billion
dollars
with
with
public
and
private
investment
into
our
economy
and
see
what
we
have
done
with
both
the
diversification
taking
tobacco
from
25
of
our
grocery
seats
down
to
four
percent,
but
almost
doubling
the
the
overall
pie
there
with
with
ag
receipts
at
nearly
seven
billion
dollars.
Now
we
were
back
in
person
at
the
farm
machinery
show.
I
was
texting,
executive
director,
david
beck
before
this
started,
to
see
what
the
head
count
was.
C
We
had
300
000
folks
coming
into
the
expo
center
this
year
to
be
part
of
the
the
farm
machinery
show,
and
it
was
great
to
be
able
to
showcase
the
13
million
dollars
of
investments
in
the
expo
center
that
was
appropriated
from
the
the
general
assembly
and
administered
through
our
office
on
what
they
have
done
and
we
were
able
to
have
our
ag
development
board
meeting
in
in
conjunction
there,
and
we
had
mr
beck
speak
with
with
our
board
farmers
markets.
Our
the
season
has
kicked
back
off
across
the
across
the
state.
C
We
were
able
to
cut
ribbons
on
three
new
ones.
Just
in
the
last
30
days,
rock
castle,
clark
and
pendleton
county
all
had
new
farmers
markets
that
have
opened,
and
there
are
now,
I
believe,
72
counties
that
have
been
able
to
participate
with
our
programs
with
cost
share
fund
funding
from
the
state
level,
with
some
local
funding
in
there
creating
markets
for
producers
to
sell,
sell
their
produce
the
ag
water
quality
had
their
quarterly
meeting.
C
Two
weeks
ago
we
were
back
down
in
western
kentucky
and
it
was
a
great
opportunity
to
showcase
conservation
practices
on
a
large
grain
operation.
We
were
at
joseph
sisk
operation
there
in
christian
county
and
was
able
to
look
at
his
work
with
cover
crops,
waterways
and
strip
tilling,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
the
the
cape
trainings.
That's
of
course,
our
county
agriculture
investment
program.
That
is,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
with
sarah's.
We've
got
96
of
those
going
on
last
year,
but
we
do.
C
We
did
training
this
year,
both
in-person
and
virtual
options.
Literally
across
the
state
we've
gone
east
west
and
in
central
kentucky,
we've
got
one
more
virtual
one.
Coming
up
to
date,
we've
had
180
different
administrators
of
this
programs
and
uk
ag
and
natural
resource
agents
that
have
participated
and,
as
sarah
was
able
to
confirm
with
me,
we
had
participants
from
ballard
to
pike
county
at
each
of
these
meetings.
So
this
has
been
a
great
chance
to
talk
about
changes
to
the
program
as
well
as
get
feedback
from
those
that
are
actually
implementing
this
program.
C
At
the
the
county
level.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
meat
processing
that
my
very
first
chance
to
come
and
visit
with
you
all.
We
were
talking
about
this
program
and
I'm
proud
to
report
to
you
all
today
that
two
that
have
been
new
constructions
have
come
online
in
the
last
month
and
have
started
processing
one
center
web
up
in
your
neighborhood
there
at
greenup,
county
tyler,
wells,
aw
meathouse,
is,
is
up
and
going.
C
I
was
able
to
tour
that
about
six
weeks
before
it
opened
it's
a
state-of-the-art
facility
and
I
believe,
going
to
be
a
really
a
benefit
for
for
your
region
and
the
the
second
one
was
in
muhlenberg
county
farmstead,
butcher,
block
and
same
thing
started.
Processing
now
and
is,
is
fully
in
function.
So,
where
we've
talked
about
the
increased
capacity
of
what
we
were
going
to
do,
I've
made
the
the
footnote
to
each
of
those
is
once
they
all
come
online.
C
Well,
they
they
are
online
now
and
and
still
not
able
to
meet
up
with
demand.
We
have
waiting
lists
at
each
and
every
one
of
these.
C
The
master
settlement
dollars
have
now
been
received
and
allocated
to
each
of
the
counties.
We
are
up
from
last
year,
total
dollars
coming
in
as
129
million
that's
up
from
126.
Last
year.
The
the
amount
allocated
to
the
ag
development
fund
is
48.2
million.
This
is
an
8
increase
from
where
we
were.
We
were
at
last
year.
C
29
million
157
719
are
at
the
state
level,
and
19
million
92
956
are
designated
county
funds,
but
I
want
to
point
out:
we've
talked
here
multiple
times
about
the
allocation
to
lower
counties
that
that
have
not
received
30
thousand
dollars.
You,
I
believe
this
everybody
in
this
committee
is
aware.
Two
two
counties
have
historically
been
excluded
because
they
had
no
no
burley
tobacco
pike
and
not
county
had
received
no
funds
until
2019.
C
When
the
ag
development
board
made
the
decision
to
bring
every
county
up
to
at
least
30
thousand
dollars
this
year
with
the
additional
money,
there
were
a
few
counties
that
had
30
now
on
their
their
own.
I
believe,
last
year,
marshall
only
needed
200
to
bring
them
up
representative
brat
to
get
them
to
the
30
000
this
year
with
the
increase
they
were
over
that
amount,
so
we
only
have
19..
These
largely
are
far
east
and
far
west
counties
across
there.
C
You
look
pike
and
not
got
the
full
30
000,
and
I
then
I
thought
the
next
two
on
my
list:
fulton
and
floyd.
So
again,
going
going
completely
across
the
state
got
over
29
000,
as
their
allocation
was
just
a
few
hundred
dollars.
Webster
county
received
the
lowest.
They
only
needed
fifty
eight
hundred
to
bring
them
up
to
the
thirty
thousand.
C
So
this
continues
to
be
one
that
we
we
receive
strong
feedback
from
each
of
these
19
counties
and
appreciation
of
the
state
funds,
bringing
them
up
to
a
level
to
where
they
can
make
some
impactful
investments
in
their
in
their
community.
C
And
lastly,
I
want
to
thank
representative
reed
for
being
at
our
last
ag
development
board
meeting,
and
I
would
like
to
extend
an
invitation
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
10
a.m.
The
third
friday
of
every
month
bill
and
I
are
being
humbled
by
the
ag
development
board
on
a
monthly
basis,
and
and
we
invite
you
all
to
be
there
any
chance.
Your
schedule
allows
or
anytime,
as
these
agendas
are
made
public
in
advance,
that
there's
something
on
there.
C
That's
of
interest
to
you
or
to
any
of
your
constituents,
it's
a
great
chance
to
interact
with
with
a
great
board
and
we'll
even
feed
you
lunch
at
the
end
of
it.
C
D
C
We
appreciate
eddie
any
and
all
interest
in
this,
and
we
we
appreciate
what
what
this
group
does.
Both
the
members
of
the
committee
and
the
staff-
and
we
do
have
quite
a
few
projects-
programs
to
and
amendments
to
go
over
with
you
and
so
bill
and
I'll
try
to
work
through
this
and
tag
team
it
and
go
through
and
we'll
take
any
any
questions
now
and
then,
as
we
go
along.
A
E
Not
a
question
so
much
as
I
I
was
gonna
since
you
mentioned,
I
was
going
to
brag
on
a
w,
meets
and
the
wells
family
and
the
what
they've
been
through
the
past
few
years
with
covid
and
uncertain
economic
future,
and
I
mean
this
was
a
dream
of
tyler
and
his
family
and
and
it
see
grown
man
cry
with
his
ribbon.
E
E
He
did
it
right
and
you
all
made
that
dream
come
true
and
we,
you
know,
vicariously
made
that
dream
come
true,
but
it
just
meant
so
much
and-
and
it
is
state
of
the
art,
if
anybody
got
any
tips,
he's
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
it
as
you
can
attest
and
and
it's
just
such
a
boon
for
our
region
and
the
support
like
I
said
we
had
cattlemen
from
all
all
over
the
region.
E
There
I've
already
reserved
a
slaughter
too,
and
but
it's
going
to
make
such
a
difference
makes
such
a
difference
and
the
community
just
loves
it,
and
I
mean
this
is
where
we
see
the
the
purpose
of
what
we
do,
and
it
just
was
very
meaningful
to
me
to
see
that
family
realize
a
dream
with
and
going
through
the
past
few
years,
and
you
all
helped
make
that
happen.
E
You
made
it
happen
for
him,
and-
and
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
it
was
intended
to
do,
and
I'm
just
glad
to
brought
some
things
back
to
northeast
kentucky
for
our
heavily
tobacco
impacted
region
and
and
have
examples
like
tyler
work
in
this
program.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
all
of
the
team
for
for
doing
that,
and
and
there's
a
video
of
the
ribbon
cutting
on
my
facebook
page
and
it's
just
it's
very
it.
It
it'll
remind
you
why
you
do
what
you
do,
but
thank
you.
C
E
We've
had
two
shut
down
recently
and
tyler.
What
he
did
he
brought
in.
He
hired
a
lot
of
the
employees
from
those
entities,
so
he
hits
he's
hitting
the
ground
running.
He's
got
experience
team
on
the
ground
and
he's
really
filled
the
void
for
those
families
as
well,
and
the
the
service
that
was
provided
by
the
two
that
have
you
know,
retired
or
aged
out,
and-
and
so
yes,
that's
another
good
point
and
he's
employing
people.
D
And
just
for
all
his
information,
so
he
was
approved
for
250.
000
is
a
forgivable
loan
and
he
also
utilized
our
kentucky
ag
finance
loan
program.
He
was
approved
for
755
000
dollars,
working
with
his
local
lender
to
finance
that
whole
project,
which
is
2
million
dollars.
So
it's
gonna
be
a
really
nice
facility,
with
some
capacity
up
there
to
service
the
livestock
producers
that
airing
representative
king.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
may
I
just
have
a
little
bit
more
information
about
those
counties
that
are,
I
call
them
kind
of
like
equalizing
dollars,
though
how
are
those
counties
implementing
their
dollars
any
bit
different
than
the
the
counties
that
traditionally
had
tobacco?
I'm
just
curious.
What
kind
of
well.
D
You
know
projects
each
county
has
a
county
council,
and
that
was
interesting.
You
know
brian
brought
up
knox,
not
county
in
in
pike
county
who
had
required
to
have
county
council
members
identify
county
council
members,
which
is
nine
county
council
members,
but
hadn't
had
any
money
or
hadn't
been
allocating
any
money,
so
they,
even
though
they
had
to
meet
that
requirement
of
the
the
statute.
So,
as
brian
mentioned
2019,
the
ag
development
board
committed
some
state
money
and
gave
them
two
years
to
invest
the
money.
D
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
learning
curve
there
and
working
with
the
extension
agents
and
the
counties
across
the
state.
But
for
the
first
time,
pike,
county
and
not
county
were
able
to
administer
the
cape
program.
Cost
share
program
for
their
producers
in
one
cost
cost
share
area
that
really
piqued
their
interest
is
cost
sharing
on
boundary,
fenson
senator
parrot,
which
is
not
an
eligible
cost
sure
item
in
any
other
state
or
federal
program,
and
so
this
is
a
opportunity
for
to
utilize
the
money.
D
Now
that
was
in
eastern
kentucky,
I
think
even
floyd
county
did
administer
the
cape
as
well
in
western
or
western
kentucky
in
hickman
county.
They
committed
they
put
all
their
chips.
It
was
forty
thousand
dollars.
They
accumulated
not
only
brought
them
up
to
thirty
thousand,
but
they
had
some
money
they've
been
rolling
over
and
that
was
all
invested
in
the
hickman
county
high
school
project,
a
project
to
support
their
welding
program
and
different.
D
Well,
it
wasn't
a
greenhouse
and
then
in
fulton
county
it
was
a
greenhouse
project
at
the
high
school,
so
they
saw
a
windfall
of
money
and
the
leadership
in
fulton
county
said
this
would
be
a
good
investment
and
to
date
I
think,
we're
over
60
greenhouse
projects
across
the
state.
Utilizing
county
money.
A
Brian,
I
had
a
phone
call
yesterday.
What
are
you
being
approached
there
within
the
office
from
farmers
there
in
west
kentucky
with
disaster
recovery?
I
know
I've
had
several
reach
out
to
me.
Their
insurance
coverage
is
not
equaling.
What
the
cost
is
now
to
replace.
Due
to
the
inflation
that
we're
going
through.
I
had
a
gentleman
yesterday
actually
spoke
with
an
insurance
agent
who
has
one
of
our
christian
county
farmers
covered.
A
They
had
a
building
that
two
years
ago,
when
it
was
built,
was
forty
five
thousand
dollars
to
build
after
the
tornado
took
it,
wiped
it
out
to
replace
that
building
it's
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
their
insurance
that
the
shortfall
there
in
their
coverage
is
not
coming
close.
I
know
we
saw
it
at
home
with
individuals,
but
are
you
hearing
much
from
agriculture
from
from
the
farmers
or
the
ag
businesses
they're
concerning
grain
rich
things
like
that
have
lost
legs.
C
No
I'm
hearing
the
same
things
you
have
heard
with
that.
I've
I've
helped
navigate
some
things
at
the
federal
level,
just
in
an
education
standpoint,
just
from
what
I've
I've
been
aware
of
from
from
my
past,
but
there's
not
been
anything
that
has
been
a
specific
application
or
an
ask
for
any
ag
development
funds,
and,
in
fact,
if
there
were,
I
would
have
to
educate
that
that
this
has
not
been
the
intent
of
these
funds
for
22
years
and
until
we're
given
different
direction.
We
would
not
be
looking
at
doing
those
things.
C
What
I
think
will
come
out
of
this
and
where
we'll
see
ag
development
play
is
in
the
innovation
that
comes
forward.
Is
these
folks
are
going
to
make
some
hard
decisions
when
they're?
Looking
at
information
like
that
and
saying
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
to
be
indemnified
really,
I
cannot
bring
back
where
I
was
so.
I
may
be
looking
at
what
what
should
I
be
doing
and
that's
where
I
think
that
our
funds
will
be
there
to
to
go
with
these
new
ideas,
new
projects
and
new
things
that
come
back.
D
Representative
dawson,
we
did
have
a
request
through
ag
finance
to
to
help
refinance
a
rebuild
on
a
poultry
operation
that
was
destroyed,
so
it
wasn't
a
project
that
we
originally
had
alone
with,
but
on
a
refinance
to
rebuild
the
project.
We
work
with
lender
to
provide
up
to
250
000
in
our
low
interest
loan
program.
Right
now.
The
interest
rate
is
2.7
2.75,
as
our
participation
on
all
our
loan
programs.
D
A
A
This
this
tornado
is
a
gift
that
keeps
giving
it
seems
like
every
day
something
new
is
coming
coming
at
us
and
whether
you're
looking
at
individuals
that
have
lost
their
homes,
businesses,
agriculture,
the
the
impact,
is
going
to
be
large
and
it's
going
to
be
long
lasting
of
what
we're
seeing.
As
I
said,
it
seems
every
day,
there's
a
new,
a
new
question
or
a
new
problem
that
that
has
arisen.
A
So
it
will
be
something
that
I
know
we'll
all
be
working
on
here
as
we
move
through
the
future.
But
I
did
want
to
just
ask
you
that
question
and
I
think
it'd
be
something
I
will
get
in
touch
with
you
later
in
the
summer
and
let's
just
kind
of
go
over
because
of
what
we
saw
there
across
west
kentucky
from
bowling
green.
All
the
way
back
toward
illinois.
D
All
right,
if
we'll
get
started,
we're
going
to
tag
team
on
some
of
these
projects,
we're
starting
with
the
december
ag
development
board
meeting
we'll
start
with
page
one
update
on
board
action
regarding
programs,
so
you
can
see.
Four
cape
applications
were
approved
and
one
youth
ag
incentive
program
for
three
hundred.
Sixteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
twenty
eight
dollars
and
the
cape
program
has
been
the
most
popular
program
in
best
county
money.
D
So
brian
mentioned
19
million
dollars
is
allocated
to
the
counties,
probably
80
to
85
percent
of
that
county
money
will
be
committed
to
the
cape
program.
This
vehicle
for
investment
money
has
been
around
since
2009
as
a
menu
approach
to
provide
cost,
share
programs
or
funds
for
any
enterprise
in
the
county.
D
D
Some
horticultural
production
is
eligible
and
then
helps
them
with
showing
animals
so
encourages
them
and
supports
in
the
show
of
livestock,
and
that's
going
to
be
important
as
we
talk
about
a
project
later
down
the
road
or
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
later
here
this
morning,
million
dollars
invested
in
a
project
in
at
the
at
the
fairgrounds.
So
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
when
it
comes
up
moving
on
to
page
two
just
an
amendment,
so
you
can
see
franklin
county
cattlemen's
association.
D
They
administer
the
cape
program
in
franklin
county,
so
they
request
an
additional
four
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
one
dollars,
bringing
the
total
165
thousand
six
hundred
six
dollars
and
then
for
mason
county
representative
roberts.
That's
the
buffalo
area.
Development
district
administers
the
program
in
several
counties
in
that
area.
D
So
I
brought
the
after
the
amendment
brought
it
up
to
two
hundred
forty
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars.
Moving
to
page
three,
we've
got
alvi
alveos
cuban
meats.
They
requested
393
dollar
thousand
dollars
to
purchase
equipment
to
expand
their
wholesale
ham,
meat
processing
business
that
was
operated
out
of
their
our
home
base
and
requesting
funds
to
expand,
and
you
can
see
the
total
project.
Cost
is
827
000
funds
from
securing
funds
from
a
bank
and
other
other
sources.
D
The
ag
development
board
or
the
committee
process
that
we
work
through
all
applications
that
come
in
during
the
month
and
by
the
last
friday
of
every
month,
then
are
forwarded
to
are
referred
to
a
committee
of
board
members
and
they
review
all
applications
and
then
referred
to
the
to
the
board
the
next
month.
So
they
approve
this
project
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
forgivable
loan.
D
They
have
to
they're
gonna,
whether
they're
gonna
source,
their
hogs
to
local
producers
to
be
processed
at
trackside
meat
in
henry
county
and
for
every
hog
that
they
are
able
to
purchase
directly
from
farmers
and
processed
through
trackside.
They
get
a
50
credit,
so
they
would
have
to
process
or
identify
that
they
they've
purchased
2
000
hogs
to
meet
the
forgiveness
over
five
years.
C
All
right
on
page
four
chairman,
you
set
up
a
one
to
continue
talking
about
west
kentucky.
This
is
the
caldwell
county
board
of
education,
an
application
to
for
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
of
county
funds.
That's
part
of
a
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollar
project
that'll
also
include
rural
development
as
well.
In
this,
the
source
of
funds
for
a
an
expansion,
a
replacement,
an
update
of
the
greenhouse
there
with
the
high
school.
C
I
was
a
graduate
of
caldwell
county
high,
I'm
trying
to
remember
the
greenhouse
we
had
so
it's
kind
of
sad
when
I
think
this
one
came
after
me
and
we're
already
now
having
to
replace
it
kind
of
showing
the
the
mileage
I'm
getting
on
me,
but
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
our
our
largest
projects
to
date,
with
what
what
they're
looking
at
doing,
but
the
the
point
is
to
make
this
a
more
inclusive
project,
to
have
it
being
handicapped,
accessible
and
and
more
more
options
and
opportunities
for
the
the
students
there
working
with
it.
C
He
passed
away
saturday,
he
graduated
a
year
ahead
of
me
at
caldwell
county
and
he
was
the
the
the
ag
teacher
and
the
ffa
advisor
there
and
was
the
applicant
here
in
this
or
the
one
that
signed
the
application
for
the
board
of
education
and
his
funeral
is
this
afternoon.
So
as
we
talk
about
a
community
that
suffered
a
lot
of
loss
with
the
tornado,
in
fact
he
went
into
the
hospital.
C
I
think
three
days
before
the
tornado
hit
and
did
not
leave
the
hospital
is
150
560
days
but
died
from
complications
there
so
continue
to
keep
that
community
and
especially
that
family
in
your
in
your
prayers
and
the
greenhouses.
We
talked
about
that
earlier
bill's
comments
and
I
saw
representative
king.
There
talk
think
about
those.
Those
have
been
a
very
popular
program
and
I
think
we've
done
60
to
date
with
these
across
the
across
the
state.
D
Next
I'll
move
on
to
page
six,
it's
udell
inc.
This
is
a
botanical
garden
in
oldham
county.
If
anybody's
traveled,
the
interstate
in
that
area,
they
have
a
brown
sign
up
there,
so
they're
established
a
business
and
they
requested
funds
and
were
approved
for
90
950
to
invest
in
surface
water,
water,
harvesting,
type
project
and
indicated
this
information
will
be
available
in
some
educational
sessions.
One
of
the
requirements
is
providing
five
years
of
outreach
to
make
available
to
nurseries.
They've
indicated,
there's
400
certified
or
registered
nurse
nurseries
in
the
state
could
benefit.
D
Some
of
those
nurseries
are
located
on
farms,
so
they
would
have
access
to
learning
more
about
harvesting
water
off
of
a
greenhouse
roof
or
having
some
kind
of
reservoir
holding
tanks.
So
that's
one
of
the
reason
the
board
was
interested
in
this
and
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
the
executive
director.
D
His
qualifications
is
dr
kappa.
Luo
he's
been
there
20
years,
he's
got
a
phd
in
horticulture
production,
so
very
skilled
at
this
type
of
business
and
done
a
great
job
in
fundraising.
That's
very
important
in
these
type
of
non-profit
enterprises
we'll
be
working
with.
He
will
be
working
with
oldham
county
extension
service
as
well
as
kentucky
horticulture
council.
C
All
right
on
page
six
is
the
next
project
reds.
This
was
an
application
for
240
000
in
state
funds
and
10
000
county
funds
to
aid
in
building
a
farmers
market
pavilion
for
existing
producers
to
utilize
this.
This,
this
application
was
recommended
a
no
fund
by
the
the
committee
and
the
board's
decision
to
to
no
fund.
This
did
not
meet
the
the
guidelines
to
what
our
current
farmer's
market
program
is
again.
C
We've
got
over
70
counties,
plus
72
is
what
what
we
have
cut
cut
ribbons
on
in
counties
across
the
state
and
the
majority
of
all
these
have
been
to
nonprofits
working
with
a
municipal
in
the
in
the
community.
This
one
was
going
to
be
a
on
a
on
a
private
landowner's
property,
and
the
ag
development
board
had
already
supported
a
farmers
market
in
this.
This
community.
D
All
right
so
we'll
start
page
one
you
can
see.
Four
counties
were
approved
for
the
cape
program,
one
for
next
generation,
so
this
helps
make
money
available
targets,
beginning
farmers
under
between
18
and
40
years
old,
so
it
doesn't
have
them
competing
with
in
the
cape
program.
Again,
it's
a
way
for
a
county
to
target,
beginning
farmers
and
then
shared
use
equipment
in
breckenridge
county.
That
money
was
used
to
purchase
an
inline
bell
wrappers.
That
brings
us
914,
seven
hundred
dollars,
approved
by
the
ag
development
board.
D
D
So
now
representative
reed,
if
you're
wondering
what
is
cross
laminated
timber,
let
me
read:
read
you
the
definition
of
it
and
this
is
using
underutilized.
So
we
all
know
you
know.
One
of
the
big
demands
in
the
forestry
is
white
oak
for
the
for
the
bourbon
industry.
So
now
they're,
looking
at
okay,
how
can
we
use
these
other
secondary
timber?
D
And
so
we're
looking
at
this
cross
eliminated
timber?
Is
a
prefabricated
wood
panel
consisting
of
layered
dimension,
cut
lumber
placed
in
layers
perpendicular
to
one
another?
Each
layer
is
joined
with
an
adhesive
before
being
pressed
together
at
high
pressure
cross
laminated
timber
commonly
is
used
in
structural
applications
for
long
spans
and
walls,
floors
and
roofs.
The
one
thing
I've
enjoyed
about
this
job
in
21
years
is
you
get
to
learn
a
lot
of
things?
D
A
lot,
a
lot,
a
lot
of
different
projects,
and
so
this
is
one
example
and
they
cite
there's
430
000
timber
owners
here
in
the
state
also
of
the
appalachian
area.
50
54
counties
are
considered
part
of
the
appalachian
region,
also
known
as
the
soar
region.
80
percent
is
covered
in
timber,
so
this
could
be
an
opportunity
to
utilize
under
utilized
or
secondary
woods.
B
B
Yes,
very
good
in
just
a
comment
about
that
project.
I
would
ask
that
that
panel
that's
going
to
be
researching
that
to
really
look
into
if
it's
valuable
for
food
grade
process
or
or
use.
That
seems
like
the
ones
you
mentioned,
of
laminating
floors
and
walls
and
that
kind
of
thing.
But
if
we're
going
to
consider
storing
some
kind
of
food
in
that
when
we
talked
about
the
adhesive
and
some
of
the
other
materials,
so
is
it
food
safe.
B
C
D
D
Barron
county
is
the
number
one
tobacco
dependent
county
based
on
that
formula
used
back
in
98
99,
based
on
how
many
tobacco
bases,
how
much
tobacco
pounds
they
sold
so
they're
the
number
one
county
of
the
19
million
dollar
distributed
accounts.
I
think
it's
21
receive
over
300
000
and
then
one
receives
400
and
that's
barron
county
all
right
and
then
moving
on
to
page
three,
we
give
you
an
update.
D
This
is
a
quarterly
update
on
the
on-farm
energy
incentives
program
so
to
be
eligible
for
this
program
for
state
funds,
we
have
to
be
investing
in
equipment
or
technology.
I
guess
we
could
say
ag
tech
has
been
available
through
this
program
about
over
10
years,
senator
parrot
and
so
again,
if
they're
making
investment
in
criminal
technology
and
we
have
a
certified
energy
manager
or
professional
energy.
Energy
energy
engineer
review
the
application.
If
the
payback
is
less
than
25
years,
then
that
meets
one
of
the
criteria.
D
So
we
have
five
applications
here:
the
first
one
creek
land
farms-
that
was
a
investment
in
the
grain
dryer,
so
they're
eligible
for
the
maximum
of
ten
thousand
dollars.
They
can
also
apply
for
a
federal
grant
with
the
reap
program
up
to
25
percent
convoy
enterprises,
that
was
a
investment
of
solar
panels
and
they
provide
dead.
Animal
removal
pick
up
their
op
they're
located
in
fake
county.
We
did
visit
with
them
and
they
also
do
crematory
services.
D
So
if
you've
got
a,
I
think,
mostly
that
day
they
had
equine
was
a
big
part
of
their
business
being
in
fayette
county.
You
can
have
your
your
your
companion
horse
center
web
cremated
for
for
a
charge
and
a
nice
little
wooden
box
there.
We.
D
And
then
moving
on
here,
the
one
project
in
graves
county
was
a
poultry
operation,
upgrading
heaters
and
then
in
jessamine
county.
This
was
a
investment
in
solar
panels
to
offset
the
electricity
cost
of
supporting
his
egg
lane
operation
in
jessamine
county.
So
this
is
a
free
range
operation,
kind
of
unique
in
jessamine
county,
providing
eggs
to
grocers
in
the
fayette
county
area.
D
So
I
use
that,
obviously,
if
you're
harvesting
eggs
every
day,
you
have
to
put
them
in
a
cooler
electricity
to
operate
that
so
the
solar
panels
would
offset
that
the
cost
and
then
the
last
one
in
marion
county
is
a
dairy
producer,
upgrading
equipment
in
operation.
So
that
was
a
total
of
forty
three
thousand
seven
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
and
again
they're
eligible
for
max
have
to
cost
the
project
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
and
then
we'll
compensate
them
for
the
cost
of
the
energy
assessment
by
the
professional
engineer
of
150
dollars.
C
All
right,
thank
you
bill
on
page
four,
maybe
the
first
approved
project
I
mentioned
in
my
my
comments
on
our
outreach
effort
during
the
the
winter
months
that
we
attended
the
grain
day
program
in
davis
county,
and
this
was
five
thousand
dollars
of
county
money
that
was
approved
for
funding
to
go
towards
putting
on
this
event.
The
application
indicated
could
be
up
to
600
producers
or
agribusinesses
attending.
We
were
not
quite
to
that
level,
but
it
was
still
a
a
big.
I
would
estimate
close
to.
C
400
were
part
of
this
program
this
year.
It's
a
reoccurring,
request
and
one
that
has
had
continued
success.
C
Page
five
logan
premium
meets
and
processing.
This
originally
was
an
application,
was
going
to
be
a
new
processor
coming
online
in
logan
county,
but
throughout
their
work
they
ended
up
purchasing
a
going
concern
in
a
long
established
business
right
there
in
the
backyard
there
chairman,
dawson
and
senator
westerfield
in
hopkinsville,
but
hampton's
meet
has
been
around
for
nearly
50
years.
C
I
think
the
sign
says
1973
on
the
on
the
front
and
the
this
group
has
has
purchased
this
and
are
looking
to
continue
the
operation,
but
doing
some
significant
upgrades
and
expansions
to
what
they're
what
they're
doing,
and
that
was
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
state
funds
in
the
forgivable
loan.
D
All
right,
moving
on
to
page
six
in
the
continuing
with
the
meat
processing
theme
here
in
shelby
county
individual
kevin
clark
requested
thirty,
five
thousand
six
hundred
sixty
dollars
to
expand.
His
operation
include
a
walk-in
freezer,
smoker
stuffer
as
a
service
to
livestock
producers,
mostly
hog
producers
he's
been.
He
started,
he's
a
startup
business
that
did
deer
processing
and
now
because,
if,
if
you
start
up
any
kind
of
harvesting
business
you're
going
to
get
calls
from
local
producers
representative
king
saying,
can
you
process
my
haul?
Can
you
process
my
beef?
D
C
Seven
through
project
tnl
land
holdings,
one
of
the
continued
objectives
by
the
state
board
is
the
the
need
for
more
veterinarians,
especially
in
our
rural
and
underserved
markets.
This
application,
also
chairman,
came
back
kind
of
with
your
your
question.
Here
was
a
disaster,
and
innovation
came
out
of
it
with
a
fire
that
had
destroyed
a
older
barn
on
this
veterinarian's
family's
property.
C
They
decide
when
they're
rebuilding
to
to
add
a
facility
there
with
the
shoot,
sorting,
pins
and
and
scales
to
be
be
part
of
a
facility
where
they
can
work
on
on
animals
there
giving
a
central
point
to
bring
for
multiple
counties.
C
This
had
17
817
dollars
of
state
funds
and
45
000
in
county
funds,
which
I
like
that
leverage
of
the
state
dollars
there
to
encourage
a
regional
project,
multiple
counties,
stepping
up
in
a
in
nearly
a
three
to
one
county
to
state
funding
to
to
build
this.
C
C
The
championship
drive
with
the
state
fair
replaced
the
sale
of
champions
which
had
taken
place
for
a
number
of
years,
with
the
culmination
of
the
winners
of
the
livestock
show.
This
gave
an
expansion
from
where,
with
the
sale
of
champions,
only
eight
winners
were
able
to
participate
in
show
dollars
for
showing
their
their
livestock.
Now
to
where
80
students
will
be
able
to
participate
in
financial
awards
from
the
showing
of
the
livestock.
This
money
had
been
raised
year
on
year
by
private
donations.
C
The
request
to
the
ag
development
board
was
for
matching
funds
to
come
in
with
a
private
investment
to
create
an
endowment
that
would
generate
interest
and
dividends,
earnings
from
this
portfolio
to
support
the
annual
annual
cost
of
of
these
prizes.
C
So
the
the
board
awarded
a
million
dollars,
subject
to
foundation
matching
dollars
of
private
investment,
and,
as
bill
pointed
out
this,
this
really
complements
the
youth
programs
that
we
have
going
on
across
the
state.
As
I
mentioned
in
talking
about
the
workload
that
sarah
covers,
we
had
28
different
youth
programs
that
we
ran
this
past
year.
They
ultimately
are
working
towards
being
able
to
compete
at
this
this
state
level
and
there
will
be
other
prizes
that
will
come
off
for
other
youth
programs
as
part
of
the
the
state
fair.
C
But
again,
all
the
the
this
is
limited
to
kentucky
youth
that
are
participating
in
this.
This
program.
A
Bill
we
have
a
question
here
from
senator
webb.
Please.
E
Well,
I
just
I
have
a
comment.
I
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
the
well.
I
want
to
thank
dr
jolly,
I'm
just
hoping
to
see
him
this
afternoon
at
the
farm
in
woodford
county,
but
this
is
a
great
project
and
I
think
it's
like
you
said,
came
out
of
a
disaster,
but
it's
innovation
and
it's
going
to
be
a
really
good
thing.
Anything
we
can
do
to
large
animal
veterinarians
that
still
make
farm
calls.
I
think
we
need
to
do
that.
E
So
I
appreciate
that,
but
I'm
a
member
of
the
kentucky
exposition
foundation
for
sake
of
full
disclosure
and-
and
we
have
a
meeting
this
afternoon-
and
this
has
been
a
high
priority
for
for
the
foundation
and
to
maintain
the
commitment
to
youth
youth
livestock-
and
I
know
many
of
us
through
the
years-
have
set
and
and
wanted
to
preserve
the
the
priority
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things
in
louisville,
with
the
entities
for
youth
livestock
and
in
the
legacy
of
livestock
and
the
impact
throughout
the
commonwealth.
E
So
I
think
this
is
the
mechanism
to
help
do
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
consideration.
D
A
And
very
quickly,
I
want
to
add
to
that
when
you
hear
these
youth
that
participate
in
this
program
there
before
age,
that
being
able
that
it
encourages
them
even
more
for
more
more
to
follow
behind
them
to
want
to
be
involved,
because
we've
seen
the
number
decrease
over
the
last
few
years-
and
I
know
I
watch
my
granddaughter
right
now-
who
is
becoming
involved
herself
and
and
the
communication
these
kids
have
between
each
other.
It
just
grows
that
enthusiasm
and
for
those
young
people
to
want
to
participate.
D
All
right
next
we're
on
page
nine,
it's
the
mclean
county
cooperative
extension
board
was
approved
for
two
thousand
dollars
in
county
money
to
contract
the
specialists
from
the
university
of
georgia
to
educate
the
the
poultry
producers
there
in
mclean
county
and
identified
ventilation
system
as
the
as
the
priority
and
would
do
some
farm
visits
and
they've
had
mclean
county.
The
contact
on
this
project
is
nancy,
nancy,
butler
she's.
D
A
long-time
poultry
producer
and
she's
had
ongoing
business
relationship
with
the
university
of
georgia
and
the
specialist
coming
up
there
and
helping
them
identify
issues
and
solving
different
issues
that
they
have.
D
The
this
is
for
to
support
the
the
purchase
of
this
sheep
harvesting
business
there
in
a
cat
and
actually
the
the
buyers
are
farmers
there
in
callaway
county,
the
the
business
is
in
basically
in
downtown
benton
and
marshall
county.
D
That's
been
a
long-term
business
processing,
harvesting
sheep
and
for
the
for
the
barbecue
business.
Have
anybody
been
to
owensboro
moonlight
barbecue?
D
The
product
probably
originated
here
at
palmer
meets
the
owner
actually
lives
in
or
the
seller
lives
in
tennessee,
so
he's
selling
it
to
a
the
the
palmer
family
here
in
in
marshall
county
in
callaway,
county
and
they're.
So
it's
going
to
go
from
a
tennessee
owner
to
a
kentucky
ownership
process
and
sheep.
D
Now
the
business
model
of
the
seller
was
brings
in
tractor
trailer
loads
of
sheep
out
of
state
and
then
processes
them
through
the
week
they're
going
to
continue
that
business
model,
but
hopefully
their
plans
are
to
buy
or
purchase
more
sheep
from
kentucky
and
expanding
that
part
of
their
their
business,
so
processing
the
sheep
through
the
business
selling
to
the
barbecue
industry.
In
western
kentucky
and
they.
C
Also,
do
bison
that's
one
of
our
few
that
that
have
a
regular
buffalo
going
through
there
with
the
45
to
50
head
a
year.
D
D
All
right,
moving
on
to
page
twelve,
it's
the
metcalf
county,
4-h
council.
This
is
a
recurring
project
of
one
thousand,
seven
hundred
nine
dollars
in
county
money
to
support
the
meth
county
ham
project
for
the
for
the
youth,
and
you
can
see
to
be
eligible
for
the
funds.
They
have
to
give
a
speech
to
be
able
to
get
their
second
ham,
and
this
process
goes
all
through
the
year
and
leads
up
in
culmination
at
the
state
fair.
D
Yeah,
I
think
that
that
concludes
that
ready
to
move
on
to
the
march
board
meeting
all
right
page,
one
we've
got
the
different
programs
are
approved,
seven
for
the
cape.
We
had
three
deceased
farm
animal
removal,
applications
approved
two
for
shared
use
and
one
for
the
youth
program
for
a
total
one
million
one
hundred
thirty
thousand
and
eighty
three
dollars.
D
We
had
two
two
amendments:
jasmine
county
added,
their
second
amendment
to
their
cape
application.
So
I
added
twenty
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
bring
it
to
two
hundred
four
thousand
and
five
hundred
dollars
and
then
carter,
county
conservation,
district,
senator
webb,
the
administer
the
cape
program
in
your
home
county,
so
amended
at
33
756
dollars,
bringing
it
total
to
164
048,
and
that
was
the
march
board
meeting.
D
I'm
on
page
two,
the
amendments
so
northern
kentucky
cattlemen's
association,
representative
roberts,
they
amended
their
cape
to
include
twenty
five
thousand
thirty
five
dollars
to
bring
the
total
to
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
and
then
spencer
county
amended
their
application
not
with
dollars,
but
to
requested
the
pro
rate
among
all
applicants
at
or
above
a
minimum
score
and
increase
the
producer
maximum
to
thirty
five
hundred
dollars.
I
believe
it
was
originally.
It
was
three
thousand
and
to
change
that
maximum.
D
They
have
to
request
a
amendment,
so
no
dollars
involved
just
changing
the
way
they
presented.
All
right
then
next
is
on
page
three.
We've
got
the
alliance
packing
company
llc.
This
is
a
a
startup
business
by
some
experienced
producers
brent
and
rhonda
cornett
20
years
experience
in
in
farming
last
six
years
in
the
produce,
they're
partnering
with
a
group
of
farmers
and
company
out
of
florida
to
grow,
produce
and
distribute
produce.
D
So
the
company
in
florida
is
alliance
packing
florida
and
they
have
working
relationships
with
walmart,
kroger
and
grocery
stores
of
that
size
are
distributors
and
what
they
they've
started
their
business
in
florida,
and
now
they
want
to
these.
Farmers
in
florida
want
to
expand
the
business
into
kentucky
where
this
would
be
located
on
the
cornett's
farms.
Four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
for
cooling
packaging
equipment
is
strategically.
London
is
a
good
location
as
far
as
a
distribution
bringing
in
produce
shipping
out
produce
and
truckload
amounts.
D
Now
this
is
set
up
as
a
forgivable
loan,
so
they
they
get
forgiveness.
It's
based
on
it's
over
five
years
forgiveness.
They
get
their
forgiveness
by
every
box
that
they
process
of
other
farmers,
50
cents,
a
box
that
works
towards
their
forgiveness
of
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
They're
not
do
not
get
credit
if
they're
marketing
their
own
produce,
so
incentivize
them
to
work
with
other
producers
and
provide
market
opportunities
for
farmers
that
need
these
kind
of
resources
to
be
able
to
fit
into
a
distribution
center.
They
can.
They
can
ship
truckloads
of
produce.
D
A
Well,
I
can
help
you
on
that.
Thank
you
both
very
much.
It's
always
always
good
to
see
you
we've
missed
you
since
december,
and
actually
I
think
we
did
did
we
meet
in
december.
A
December's
from
december
through
january,
was
a
little
bit
out
of
sorts
there
at
my
house,
so
forgive
me
right
there.
We

16th

30..
