The Boyle County Farm Bureau Federation applied for $129,000 in agricultural Development Funds for the CAIP program. There were 121 applications that were accepted from November 17th
through December 8th, 2020. 63 applications were funded and the deadline to finish their projects on the farm is April 13, 2021. The extension office is the main clearing house for all reports and receipts turned in on the cost share program. With Covid-19 restrictions the extension agent has worked with producers on getting their educational requirements virtually. We are seeiing the results of the cost share program through better quality feeder cattle, better forage management, and overall better farm management due to cost share dollars. The Phase 1 program has allowed extension to better build relationships with producers that either didn't use extension or used extension occasionally.
