The Boyle County Farm Bureau Federation applied for $153,146 in Agriculture Development Funds for the CAIP program. There were 86 applications submitted and 75 were funded. The program was started during the last fiscal year and will be completed this year. The extension office is the main clearing house for all the reports and receipts turned in on the cost share program. The extension agent has held 11 educational meetings, both with the BQCA certification as well as the cattle handling program to assist producers in meeting their requirements for the funds. we are seeing the results of the cost share program through better forage management, better cattle working facilities, better quality feeder cattle and overall better farm management. The phase 1 program has allowed extension to build relationships with producers that would probably would not have used extension otherwise.
