Funding resources for farmers are often crucial to starting a new farm business and even sustaining an existing one. The Woodford County Extension Service receives many inquiries from clientele asking about grants, loans, and cost share opportunities to help offset the costs of either starting their farm business or expanding, sustaining, and/or diversifying their current operation. With many of the travel and health restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Woodford County Extension Service partnered with the Woodford County Conservation District to plan and host a virtual workshop on funding opportunities for farmers. Representatives from USDA Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service, KY Division of Conservation, Woodford County Extension Service, Kentucky State University, and the Kentucky Horticulture Council discussed the most up to date programs targeted at financially assisting producers. Eighty-two registrants were able to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about financial assistance for their operations.
