Grain Farmer Measure Clears Both Houses Of The Legislature

Mayfield Representative Richard Heath says such an update of the program hasn’t been done for decades. The Western Kentucky lawmaker says many of the Commonwealth’s grain farmers are under stress. “Their input costs are high. The price of land is high. The price of equipment is high and grain prices are still about the same price they were back in the '80s,” said Heath.
