Guest editorial: Farmers urged to support license tag option Supporting Adair County Agriculture: For a very small amount - just $10 - farmers can voluntarily add $10 to their Farm Tag purchases and strengthen three farm initiatives: 4-H, FFA, and Kentucky Proud By Tony Rose, Adair Extension Agent for 4-H and Youth Guest editorial In March, farmers can make a voluntary donation of $10 when renewing their farm license plates at the county clerk's office. With more than 160,000 farm plates bought or renewed each year in Kentucky, the commissioner's action could generate up to $1.6 million annually. Last year both the local Adair County 4-H and FFA programs received monies the Farm Tag program that went to help support Adair County youth who were involved in the local 4-H and FFA programs. The Adair County 4-H and the Adair County High School FFA each received $483.83 from the program. So when you make this donation please be aware that the local programs do get part of the funding from the donation program and it does help our local youth. I strongly believe that these programs are worthy of your support," said Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, on his visit here Thursday, January 31, 2013. "4-H and FFA helps develop our youth, preparing them for career success, teaching leadership, citizenship, and life-skills that equip them to be our future leaders. Proceeds from voluntary donations to the Agricultural Program Trust Fund will be divided equally among 4-H, FFA, and Kentucky Proud. Last year the Adair County 4-H and Adair County FFA received monies from this program. "When Kentucky farmers renew their farm license plates, they can add a voluntary $10 donation that will be split evenly among these three fine organizations," said Commissioner Comer, a former state FFA president. "FFA and 4-H give Kentucky's young people opportunities to participate in constructive activities while they learn the value of hard work and discipline. Kentucky Proud helps Kentucky producers find new markets for their products. All three programs are vital to the future of Kentucky agriculture and Kentucky as a whole." - Tony Rose This story was posted on 2013-03-01 14:17:25
