- Kentucky Farm Bureau Launches Kentucky Farmland Transition Initiative to Address Loss of Farm Acreage Across the State
- April 9, 2024

- April 8, 2024
-
Kentucky Farm Bureau is announcing the creation of the Kentucky Farmland Transition Initiative which will help get us on a sustainable path to ensure our farmland remains in agricultural production.
- Making Efforts Now to Save Farmland for the Future
- April 8, 2024
