Renewing Farm Tags benefits 4-H and FFA

By Tony Rose

4-H and FFA has an opportunity to raise funds for Adair County and statewide 4-H and FFA programs through the Kentucky Ag Tag Donation program.

Since 2012, Kentucky Farmers have the option to make a $10.00 voluntary donation when they purchase or renew their license plate. Commissioner of Agriculture, Ryan Quarles, will again equally divide the amount raised among 4-H, FFA and Kentucky Proud. As an individual that makes the voluntary donation for your farm vehicle, you help 4-H and FFA grow strong leaders for tomorrow, advance agricultural education in Kentucky, and promote Kentucky farm products.

Farmers can make the donation of $10 when renewing their farm license plates at the county clerk's office in March. With more than 184,000 farm plates bought or renewed each year in Kentucky, the commissioner's action can generate significant funds to support these three outstanding programs.



Half of the Ag Tag donation stays in Adair County funding programs and activities that teach children and teens about leadership, citizenship, science and technology, communications, public speaking, agriculture, and more.

Adair County 4-H and FFA each received $843.00 for 2019 and that benefited programs such as; Awards banquet, 4-H Summer Camp, Day Camp activities, Teen program, 4-H Scholarships FFA Camp, Travel for judging teams, student recognitions. This year Adair County has a great opportunity to increase financial support for our local 4-H and FFA programs by encouraging farmers to make the donation. If at least 50% of those renewing a license would make a donation, over $3,000 could be raised to support each of the Adair County 4-H and Adair County FFA programs locally.

Making the $10 donation on each farm license plate at renewal is an excellent opportunity for our agricultural community to support the youth of our community and help fund the programs that can make a lasting difference in their lives.
