Farm Tag voluntary donation helps fund 4-H, FFA, KY Proud Commissioner Comer greeted by Adair 4-H members on visit to Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair's office this morning Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Tony Rose Adair County Extension Agent for 4-H and Youth Activities Please help support our local 4-H and FFA program in March when you renew your Farm Tags. Agriculture Commissioner James Comer was in Adair County at County Clerk Shelia Blair's office to promote the Kentucky Farm Tag Donation promotion. 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 2013-01-31 14:13:59 | Comments | Printable version

COF takes umbrage at unintended slur of Knifley Apology: We should have known better; we took for granted that everybody who knows anything knew that Knifley The Cradle and Crib of Adair County Culture and Enlightenment as it is known, is as a cosmopolitan college/university town. Thanks, COF, for setting us straight -CM By the COF "...real, uncloned and unticky-tackied shops like the one in Columbia, a one of a kind place compared those in other great campus towns across America - whether in Austin, Bloomington, Cookeville, Nashville, or other cosmopolitan cities.'"

CM Civics lesson: Kentucky State Government really is organized Anyone who is confused by departments, agencies, cabinets, and what is where in state government may think it's a state of chaotic confusement. Really, though, it's very organized. The simplest chart we've found to understand who is where is at Kentucky Organizational Structure, a part of one of the easiest to use websites, ky.gov Why we looked - Trying to find the Cabinets. And the even dozen are: General Government Cabinet, Transportation Cabinet, Cabinet for Economic Development, Finance and Administriation Cabinet, Tourism, Education & Workforce Development Cabinet, Cabinet for Health & Family Services, Justice & Public Safety Cabinet, Personnel Cabinet, Labor Cabinet, Energy & Environment Cabinet, and Public Protection Cabinet. A whole lot can be made out from the chart about how State Goverment runs although it is missing the all important Local Shot Callers and List of Lobbyists who, fortunately or unfortunately, have a huge amount of say in what gets done. - CM 2013-01-31 04:55:17 | Comments | Printable version
