Heavy rains and thunderstorm rolling over the area



2019-07-30 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Huge raindrops fell over Adair County in the middle of the afternoon today, July 30, 2019, as thunderstorms rolled past and the sun was shining through the gray clouds. This view is of the Columbia Sav A Lot parking area, looking out toward Bryant Realty. I asked a shopper what it meant when the sun was shining and it was raining at the same time? She said her family always said when that happened it meant the devil was beating his wife. Now there's something to ponder. Again in the early evening rain and thunderstorms are passing over. Drive safely tonight! - LW

Quarles: Farms To Food Banks reduces hunger, helps farmers

Commentary by Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles

Frankfort, KY - When you and your family shop for local produce at your farmers' market or grocery store this summer, what will you look for? A recent study found that most people look for produce without any blemishes. What happens to produce with a cosmetic blemish? At the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA), we work to steer that nutritious produce to hungry Kentuckians in need through a program called Farms To Food Banks.

Farms to Food Banks is a public-private partnership that helps farmers recoup losses for produce that will not be sold to the public but otherwise is good to eat. The program is supported by the General Assembly and individuals who donate a portion of their state income tax refund.
