Travis Cleaver is a Larue County farmer I have worked with for several years. He has been growing an acre of produce. In 2016 he purchased more land, and in 2017 was able to grow an additional 3.5 acres of produce, which he sells at the farm. He has been one of three Larue County sweet potato growers that work together. This year, a fourth grower has joined the group. They were able to produce 10,000 lbs of sweet potatoes – their best yield as a group. These were valued at about $5000. They have done well enough that they are looking for more markets.
