Adair Co. 4-H Rabbit and Poultry Show a big success By Katelynn M. Molesky on Behalf of Adair County 4-H On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Adair County 4-H held a Rabbit and Poultry show. The event, which took place at the Extension Office, showcased 17 talented youth from Adair, Taylor, Pulaski and Metcalfe Counties. Additionally, one participant came in from Pickett County, Tennessee. Walt Reichart served as the judge for the evening. Several divisions were offered depending on the age of the youth participating and placings were determined by the showmanship ability of the participant. While everyone received a ribbon and pin based on their performance, a champion was also chosen from each group, as well as a best in show. In addition to the showmanship competition, a costume contest was held at the end. This event had two divisions based on the type of animals and awarded one winner each. The show was sponsored by Mid-State Ready Mix and Corbin Farms. Additionally, Tractor Supply Co., Red Barn Veterinary Clinic and Day & Day Feed Mill donated items that were used as prizes. "I think everything went really well," says club leader Missy Lemmon. "I was really pleased with the turnout." Lemmon said she looks forward to September 3, 2026, when the club will host another show at the Fairgrounds. Each and everyone that took part did a great job and earned a blue ribbon.

Congratulations Adair Co. FFA Crop Scouting Team! From Gabby Barnes Agriculture Educator, FFA Advisor The Adair County FFA received First Place in the Kentucky State Crop Scouting Contest for the second year in a row! Team members were Ethan Wooten, Addie Baker, Lane Kelsay, and Hudson Hancock. The team spent weeks preparing for the contest over the summer, and then travelled to Princeton, Kentucky in order to participate in the contest. The contest required students to illustrate a wide expanse of knowledge related to row crop production and agronomy. They worked as a team in order to determine the growth stages of corn and soybean crops, calculate populations and estimate yield in different fields, identify common agronomic disorders, connect soil characteristics with nutrient availability, perform calculations related to sprayer calibration, determine causes of problems within tobacco crops, and identify common pests and their management methods. The team worked extremely hard to achieve such a high level of success, and will be representing the state of Kentucky at the national level in Illinois this fall. This success would not have been possible without the assistance of local farmers that allowed the students to prepare for the contest in their corn, soybean, and tobacco crops. The students would like to thank our local farmers, as well as the agronomists at White Farms and Beck's Superior Hybrids, who provided additional assistance. The students will be continuing their work throughout this fall in order to prepare for the national contest. They are very excited to have the opportunity to travel to Illinois and expand their knowledge of agronomy. 2026-07-27 09:59:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
Old Buildings are our History By Mike Watson If you are standing anywhere in Adair County today, you are in old Kentucky County, Virginia. And Lincoln County, Virginia--later Lincoln County, Kentucky. And Green County, Kentucky. Then, of course, Adair County, Kentucky. Many readers have ancestors who have been on this land for generations. Some families can trace the Adair County "immigrant" back to the 1790s or early 1800s. Joseph Turner came into this area when it was still wild land. He, like so many others, carved out an existence in a frontier with many dangers all around. Those intrepid pioneers erected small log cabins in which to live and start or rear families. Families grew and the need for more living space was necessary. Many of these homes no longer exist--for many reasons they are gone. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, is representative of such homes. This is the Joseph Turner house which began as a cabin, was expanded upon--elongated and improved for generations by Turner descendants. This structure was perched on the banks of Burns Creek where it flows into Crocus Creek in southeastern Adair County, near the Cumberland County line. It was destroyed by fire not long after this photo was taken.

Helping others Feel Less Broken by Duane Bonifer Jessica Ashby '25 is making the most of her second chance, and in the process she is rewriting her life as a role model for others. In less than a decade, the Louisville resident went from being a convicted felon whose drug addiction cost her the custody of her daughter, to a crusading community activist who has been honored for her efforts to shape public policy and rescue others struggling with addiction. "I vowed a long time ago that I wanted to spend my life making other people feel less broken," said Ashby. "At the end of the day, I'm living the life that God wanted me to live. Even through the bad. Sometimes we have to go through the bad to get to the really, really good."
