Major Program: Sustainable Agriculture
Harlan County has a long history that involves home horticulture and small farming operations. With suggestions from the agriculture development council along with the county beekeeping group, several agriculture sustainability programs, geared toward small producers were held throughout the past year. The Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent conducted 10 classes throughout the year using resources from the University of Kentucky and local leaders such as beekeepers and farmers.
