Phillip Coffey - Dad and Mom By Phillip Coffey Born early on a Monday morning, after “Dinner” took on the plow. Life was never easy but it must be done, always had a sly smile that got him through it. Next thing you know much more to do for his country, took upon Infantry training when he was just beyond the age of 21. Kept going tho none of it was much fun. Wearing his fatigues every day, shipped across the Atlantic to take on the Huns. Heard them moving their armaments into the night. Flashbacks of memories of a Parson moving his supplies in the evenings so quiet with only the sounds of the wagon wheels crackling the rocks, tossing in flight. One hundred and five years ago is a long time ago when Dad was born. Now with mom who still remains always smiles at me when I see her with an Angelic glow. 2026-08-08 23:39:06 | Comments | Printable version

CAIP Education Program: Hardship Proofing Your Farm From Nick Roy Adair County Cooperative Extension Service Weather, volatile markets, and health events all pose threats to the family farm. Over the past year, we have witnessed many of our neighboring counties experience severe impacts from drought, flooding, and tornadoes. Farmers also face unpredictable markets and fluctuating input costs. In addition, the success of every family farm depends on the health and well-being of those who operate it. While we may not be able to predict or prevent every challenge, we can prepare our families and farms for the risks we know exist. Join us for a one-hour overview and discussion on developing plans to help your farm navigate disasters, unfavorable market conditions, and unexpected health events. Having a plan in place can help your family farm endure whatever challenges arise and could make a difference in keeping the farm for future generations. The program will be offered on the following dates at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY:
