Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy
Perry County is one of the Counties that receives very little of the Phase I Tobacco Settlement funds that was established by House Bill 611. Perry County only receives around $8000 every two years. We usually have to set on the money until enough is accumulated to run a cost-share program. On average we run a program every two or three years and only have around $10,000 to put toward a grant. Most of the grants that have been run are only for $1000 producer maximum and are a 50/50
