Success Stories
ANR Project Grants helped Menifee Producers
Author: Mary McCarty
Major Program: Forages
Small farms and limited-acre farms bring different challenges to new residents. Knowing where to begin and how to make all needed purchases puts these farmers in a better starting position. The Menifee ANR Council and ANR/4-H Agent applied and received a small grant through the University of Kentucky ANR Office that will work with new residents and small farmers willing to work with the project. Beef producers, Equine Producers, and small ruminant farmers will be eligible. &nbs
