Money approved by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board will help support rural businesses across the state. The awards total up to $2,130,880.
Some of the larger awards are going towards construction projects funded by both the state and each project’s respective county.
A $250,000 loan will go to Chaney’s Dairy Barn in Bowling Green for an expansion of its current facility, and $7,554 in Carroll County funds is going towards The Farmstand to create a storefront for local homegrown products.
$500,000 dollars will also go to the University of Kentucky’s Agricultural Leadership Program.
“The Kentucky Agricultural Development Board's attention to a diverse set of projects and programs sets a high standard for Kentucky's agricultural future,” Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell said in a release.
