The Jackson County Agriculture Agent worked alongside the agriculture development council and the CAIP administrator to help implement a CAIP program in Jackson County. The program approved 108 producers to receive 75% cost share on up to $1900.00. Producers were eligible to invest in 11 different program areas to improve their farms. These projects ranged from superior bulls to hay sheds and fencing.
