County Agricultural Investment Program approved for Adair $200,000 in Kentucky Agricultural Development Funds Awarded By Sandra Gardner News for the Kentucky Agricultureal Development Fund FRANKFORT, KY (Sept. 20, 2011) - The Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, chaired by Gov. Steve Beshear, approved $200,000 in Adair County Agricultural Development Funds for a County Agricultural Investment Program (CAIP) at their August business meeting. The Adair County Cattlemen's Association Inc. submitted a proposal to the Adair County Agricultural Development Council and the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board to provide cost-share incentives to area farmers. "I am committed to giving our farmers the tools and resources they need to remain competitive and continue Kentucky's strong farming tradition," said Gov. Beshear. "County Agricultural Investment Programs funded by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board provide important on-farm investment opportunities." CAIP is designed to provide farmers with incentives to allow them to improve and diversify their current production practices. CAIP combines what were previously known as county model cost-share programs into one, where each model program becomes an investment area. "This CAIP funding is key in helping farmers keep up with the changing agriculture climate of the 21st century," said Sen. Vernie McGaha, of Russell Springs. "It is important we give farmers the tools they need to keep them in business for years to come." "The Agricultural Development Funds are an important part of diversification across the Commonwealth," said Rep. Bam Carney, of Campbellsville. "Adair County is fortunate to have these funds available through this on-farm investment program." CAIP covers a wide variety of agricultural enterprises in its 11 investment areas, including commercial production of aquaculture; bees and honey; equine; forage; fruit; livestock; mushrooms; ornamental horticulture; poultry; rabbits; timber; and vegetables, as well as agritourism business development; commercial kitchen construction or conversion; energy efficiency/production; and on-farm water enhancement. For more information about the sign-up period and the complete guidelines for this program in Adair County, contact Teresa Bright with the cattlemen's association at (270) 384-2317, (270) 250-5215 or tbright@uky.edu.
