  • 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. Six CAIPs were approved by the board totaling $1,553,000 for Casey ($290,000), Clinton ($135,000), Hart ($350,000), Metcalfe ($235,000), Robertson ($293,000) and Scott ($250,000) counties.
  • On-Farm Energy Efficiency Program The On-Farm Energy Efficiency Program provides incentives for Kentucky farm families to increase energy efficiency of existing equipment or facilities. Fifteen On-Farm Energy Efficiency Programs were approved totaling $119,929 for recipients in Adair ($3,283), Barren ($14,288), Daviess ($10,150), Graves ($6,547), Hopkins ($9,138), Letcher ($10,150), Madison ($10,150), Marshall ($10,150), McLean ($10,150), Ohio ($20,300), Simpson ($5,723), Washington ($6,900) and Wayne ($3,000) counties.
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 $605 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 6,100 projects approved, since the inception of the program in January 2001.
