Washington County's portion of the 2017 Tobacco Settlement funds was $168,000.

Each program was facilitated by the Washington County Cattlemen's Group and was a 50/50 cost share. Farmers participating in the CAIP program spent $3000 and received $1500 while those in the Next Generation Program spent $5000 and received $2500.
