On-Farm Investments The County Agricultural Investment Program (CAIP) offers 11 investment areas that give Kentucky agricultural producers the ability to increase net farm income, add value to their products and diversify their operation. CAIP benefits and enhances agriculture across the state by stimulating markets for Kentucky agricultural products. Three CAIPs were approved by the board totaling $234,856 for Estill ($85,000), Lyon ($24,000) and Taylor ($125,856) counties. In addition to these new approvals, an additional $81,928 was approved to enhance an existing CAIP in Daviess ($28,652), Garrard ($28,349), Henderson ($4,837) and Whitley ($20,000) counties.

One Deceased Farm Animal Removal Program totaling $2,500 was approved for Garrard County. Youth Agricultural Incentives Program The Youth Agricultural Incentives Program (Youth) serves as a measure to facilitate the growing need for a specialized program that benefits youth actively engaged in agriculture. One Youth Programs was approved by the board totaling $10,000 for Taylor County. Great strides continue being made toward lessening Kentucky's dependence on tobacco production while revitalizing the farm economy by investing a portion of Kentucky's Master Settlement Agreement Funds into the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund. To date, Kentucky has invested more than $585 million in an array of county, regional and state projects designed to increase net farm income and create sustainable new farm-based business enterprises. These funding approvals, made possible by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, represent just a few of the more than 5,900 projects approved, since the inception of the program in January 2001.
