After droughts affected crops across Kentucky, members of the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Fund Oversight Committee hosted a meeting to find ways to help affected farmers.
The Department of Agriculture presented programs that would assist farmers during a drought.
Affected farmers would also have several options provided by the Farm Service Agency to provide funds to the affected farmers.
Farm Service Agency officials currently monitor drought conditions in Kentucky. If those conditions rise anywhere beyond a certain high point on the US Drought Scale for more than eight weeks, farmers and producers would be given assistance.
The amount of money farmers would receive is based on the severity of the drought.
