 The Pike County Conservation District has opened applications for the County Agricultural Investment Program. Farm owners in Pike County can apply to receive help obtaining certain resources so long as they have the proper credentials. Applications are open until July 7th, with more information available on the Pike County Conservation District Facebook page. Basically, there is just about anything on your farm that you might be interested in doing that needs some help with some grant money that our investment areas in this program. We have small animal, large animal, poultry, and other fowls fencing in on-farm water, farm infrastructure, innovative ag systems, value added in marketing, forage and grain, ag diversification, and on-farm energy. And just about anything in those categories have subcategories. There are just tons of just about anything that you could think of that you might need on your farm that you couldn't possibly get some help with. Cancer, it's a very scary word. But an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. There will also be a producers meeting at the conservation district on June 22nd for those who need assistance filling out their applications. Once applications are submitted, they will be scored to determine who can receive assistance. We will be having a producer meeting on June 22nd at 6 o'clock here at the office for anyone who is interested in this program that needs more information on it and may need help filling out the application. Once all the application process is done on July 7th and a week or so after that, we have a scoring committee that comes in and scores these applications. And then we start from the high score and work our way down to all of the funds are gone. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colm.
