Extension office: Lawrence County secured about $1.1 million in drought cost‑share funds
Summary
An extension office representative updated the commissioners on outreach events and drought relief programs, saying Lawrence County brought in roughly $1.1 million in cost‑share assistance for landowners under federal drought programs.
An extension office speaker told the commissioners that attendance at recent events — including a county fair and a Honey Festival — was strong and that outreach work included drought relief assistance. The speaker said Lawrence County brought in “over $1,100,000 to cost share in to the landowners of our county” under emergency drought and federal cost‑share programs.
The speaker outlined program participation and acreage summaries in an attached spreadsheet and invited commissioners to contact the extension office with questions. No action or funding decisions by the commissioners were recorded at the meeting; the update was informational.
