In 2021, the Kentucky Office of Agriculture Policy provided more funding opportunities for Harlan County farm families thru the County Agriculture Improvement Program. These funds, more than $55,000, continuing into 2022-2023, have oversite thru Kentucky Office Agriculture Policy and the Harlan County Agriculture Development Council. With the assistance of the Harlan County Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent, the local council was able to designate the funding be distributed thru the Harlan County Conservation District. These funds have allowed farmers to participate in the cost share program to improve their farming businesses thru beef cattle herd improvement, farm sustainability, non-timber forest products, and value-added timber production, just to name a few.
