Due to the freeze and drought in 2007, the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board created the Kentucky Agricultural Relief Effort program in March. Farmers in Warren County will receive $110,796. Additional funds will be added to the program by the Warren County Agriculture Development Board as well.

The signup for the program will start July 18 and continue until July 31 at the Warren County Conservation District office at 925 Lovers Lane in Bowling Green. Office hours are from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The cost share maximum will be $2,500. Applicants will be approved by a ranking form created by the Governor’s Office of Agricultural Policy Compliance Department.

For a list of the agricultural investment items that will be offered for cost share or for more information, call the Warren County Conservation District office at 846-4506.
