Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer has announced that Kentucky sheep and goat producers may vote on check-offs in separate referenda scheduled to be held October 1, 2009, in county Extension offices throughout the Commonwealth.



Voting will be open October 1, 2009, from 8:00amCT and 4:30pm local time.

Persons directly involved in the production of sheep and goats will be eligible to vote in their respective referenda in their county of residence. Producers will be required to provide identification and complete a certification attesting that they are eligible to vote. Corporate producers and eligible producers who reside outside of Kentucky may vote only in the county where their farm is located. Eligible producers may vote by absentee ballot.

Votes will be tabulated in the agriculture commissioner's office in Frankfort.If approved, collection of check-off funds would be mandatory, but reimbursement of funds paid would be an option to the producer.
