Farm and Home

Summer vacation may be just starting up for most students, but that doesn’t mean Kentucky Farm Bureau’s (KFB) emphasis on education is slowing down. Eighty-nine high school juniors from 57 counties across the state have accepted invitations to attend KFB’s 26th annual Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders (IFAL), held in two locations later this month.
Marion County High School student Jason Miracle is one of 44 participants attending IFAL at the University of Kentucky.

The election of responsible agricultural producers to Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees is important to all farmers with large or small operations.
It is crucial that every eligible producer take part in this election because county committees are a direct link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Committee members are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level.
