The Floyd County Cooperative Extension Office held their annual Fall Festival today, where local growers and artisans were all able to come out and showcase the fruits of their labor. Not only is agriculture and crafting a secondary income for many in the region, it's also a way of preserving our culture. It's part of our heritage. I mean, and basically, you know, food products and the crafts go together. And, you know, we have a wealth of individuals in this area who are fantastic artists. I mean, it's different medians, different styles, you know, from woodworking to, you know, painting and sculpting. We just, we're blessed. Local agriculture has an impact on our local economy, but it also has an impact on our ecosystem. As a beekeeper myself, I'm proud that I entered the honey this year in the Kentucky State Fair and I did win a first place blue ribbon at the State Fair this year. So, kind of proud of that. You'd be surprised at all the things that without the honey bee, we would not have as far as vegetables, produce, almonds, fruits, several different things. And there would be a lot of people starve out across the world if we did not have honeybees.
