The Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, chaired by Governor Ernie Fletcher, mailed checks totaling $116,281 in support of agricultural diversification programs in Lewis County. The Lewis County Conservation District submitted proposals for cost-share assistance to the Lewis County Agricultural Development Council and the Agricultural Development Board.
The Lewis County Conservation District was awarded $105,000 for the Hay, Straw and Commodity Storage program in Lewis County. This program offers cost-share assistance to individual producers seeking to increase income by implementing the best practices related to hay, straw and commodity storage and utilization. Using these practices will then improve feed and straw quality.
The Lewis County Conservation District was awarded $11,281 for the Shared-use program in Lewis County. This program was established with the purpose of impacting a high number of producers, who cannot justify ownership expenses associated with certain equipment, by helping them access technology necessary to improve their operations in an economical manner.

The Kentucky Legislature continues to make great strides towards lessening Kentucky's dependence on tobacco production while revitalizing the farm economy by investing 50% of Kentucky's Master Settlement Agreement into the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund. To date Kentucky has invested over $169 million to an array of county, regional, and state projects designed to increase net farm income and create sustainable new farm-based business enterprises. The Lewis County diversification program represents just one of the over 1930 projects that have been funded through Agricultural Development Fund, since the inception of the program in January 2001.
