Commissioner Doug Sapp supported the idea with a motion authorizing Mr. Newton 1) to explore and report back on the grants, and that 2) Mr. Newton provide ideas for savings on construction costs, evaluating grant money, with the accompanying restrictions, or using other financing. The building, as in previous plans, would be on a lot the utility owns in Holladay Place, near the Raider Bob million gallon storage tank.The proposal was unanimously approved.

Farmers urged to search fields for Waterhemp 2018-07-12 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Nick Roy, Adair County Extension Agent for Agriculture & Natural Resources. Since the first appearance of glyphosate resistant palmer amaranth and waterhemp, above, in Adair County, each species has spread further throughout the county. Feedstuffs, machinery, and wildlife all play a role in the spread of these weeds. It is extremely important that these weeds are identified and controlled early. If left to grow, these weeds become uncontrollable and forfeiture of the crop is inevitable. - Nick Roy Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Flounder & Eggs & Small Tomato Steaks 2018-07-12 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Lightly cornmeal dusted chunks of flounder and Adair County farm fresh eggs, with vinegar salad of cukes, green pepper, yellow squash and Vidalia onions and tomatoes is good for breakfast, brunch, lunch and/or supper - though everything except for the tomato steaks, at this time of the year, is superfluous. The stocks coming in at the farmers markets - FM2 Wednesdays and Saturdays, and Adair Farmers Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays - have the best flavor ever this year. Tomatoes are in abundant, if not unlimited, supply. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
