Make a difference for our county’s youth!
We have a tremendous opportunity to raise
significant funds to support 4-H, FFA, and
Kentucky Proud through the Ag Tag Donation,
thanks to Commissioner of Agriculture, Ryan
Quarles. Many of today’s farmers learned valuable
lessons as 4-H members, now there’s an easy way
for them to give back. Remind a farmer today to
give back by making the $10 donation when they
renew each of their farm license plates.
