Governor asks Kentuckians not to erase gains By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday said Kentuckians need to be resilient, resourceful and resolute in the fight against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), even as warmer weather brings new opportunities for gatherings - and virus transmission. "We're going to get through this together because we're strong enough, we're resilient enough and at the end of the day, we're going to make good decisions," the Governor said. "At different times we're going to be tempted. We're at the beginning of summer and we all want it to be a normal summer. But we don't get a normal summer in the midst of a worldwide health pandemic." The Governor provided updates on two children being ill, positive cases, testing and urged Kentuckians and businesses to remain vigilant of Healthy at Work guidance.

Feeding Kentucky buys 10k pounds of Purnell's Sausage By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced Feeding Kentucky has purchased 10,080 pounds of Kentucky Proud pork sausage from the iconic Purnell's "Old Folks" headquartered in Simpsonville, Kentucky. The purchase is funded by a historic donation from Kentucky Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company to Feeding Kentucky as part of the Kentucky Hunger Initiative last month. "When we started the Kentucky Hunger Initiative years ago, the goal was to build a network to connect farmers and agribusinesses to Kentucky's food bank system," said Commissioner Quarles. "Today's announcement, bolstered by Kentucky Farm Bureau's historical donation to the Hunger Initiative, is the perfect culmination of this work. Vulnerable Kentuckians affected by this global pandemic now have more access to the one and only Kentucky Proud Purnell's 'Old Folks' sausage." The 10,080 pounds of sausage is sourced from a Kentucky producer out of Loretto, Kentucky, who had lost a market due to processing plant slowdowns across the state and nation. When the producer contacted the Kentucky Department of Agriculture about the issue, the KDA was able to connect him with Purnell's.
