Louisville, KY (December 1, 2017) – McCracken County Farm Bureau was honored as one of six recipients of Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Educational Mini-Grant. All six recipients were recognized during KFB’s annual meeting in Louisville.

One-time grants of up to $500 are offered to county Farm Bureaus on a competitive basis to help fund projects that result in increased agricultural literacy. Priority is given to those programs demonstrating a need for financial support.
McCracken County Farm Bureau was recognized for purchasing books to occupy five bookcases constructed by the McCracken County High School-one for each of the five McCracken County Elementary Schools.
