Ag Tags: $10 donation benefits KY agriculture youth From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell is making rounds across the state as he visits with FFA members, 4-H members, and Kentucky County Clerks spreading the word about the Ag Tag Program. Every year, when owners renew their farm license plates, or "ag tags," which depict the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Kentucky Proud logo, along with the 4-H and FFA emblems, they can make a $10 donation. That money goes into a fund divided equally among Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) to support Kentucky's agriculture youth and other organizations and programs benefiting Kentucky's farm families. Last year, donations to the Ag Tag program reached a record high of $931,201.81. From that total, each group received $310,400.60 to invest back into their communities for youth development and promotional programs.
