Adair Co. added to Appalachia Proud region

17 Kentucky Counties Added to Appalachia Proud Region, including Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, and Russell. The brand promotes agricultural products from Appalachian Kentucky.

By Sean Southard

Pikeville, KY - The Kentucky Proud program has added 17 Kentucky counties to Appalachia Proud, the brand that designates agricultural products from Appalachian Kentucky, Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles announced at the SOAR (Shaping Our Appalachian Region) Summit on Friday in Pikeville.

"Now more Kentucky producers can use the Appalachia Proud brand to show their pride in their Appalachian heritage," Commissioner Quarles said. "Consumers identify Appalachia Proud products with the unique culture and fiercely independent spirit of the region. Agriculture can and will generate additional economic activity in the area at every level, from small family farms and farmers' markets to the giant AppHarvest greenhouse complex that's under construction in Rowan County. Agriculture has a bright future in Appalachia."

Letter: Idea to preserve memory of old tree

Brandon Thompson writes:
I recently read a post on the Facebook page for the White House Historical Association about an old tree, called the Eisenhower Tree, that was storm damaged and unable to be saved.

They cut a slab of the tree and had it displayed so that its historical significance could be remembered, even though the tree itself was gone. Might be worth doing for a tree that old here in Adair County? Just a thought. --Brandon
