The Jackson County Agriculture Agent has worked closely with the Ag Development Council, the CAIP program Administrator, and Producers to have another County Agriculture Improvement Program. This year 108 producers were approved for $1427 each on a 75/25 cost-share program. The agriculture agent worked with producers through CAIP application classes that taught producers how to fill out their applications. Over one third of all applicants attended one of the CAIP application classes. The agriculture agent also scheduled twelve online courses that producers could take for their educational component of the program. These courses were purposely scheduled on all different days of the week and times to be more available for producers. So far, six of these programs have allowed for nearly half of the approved producers to receive their educational credit for CAIP from the safety and comfort of their home during a global pandemic.
