Thousands of landowners across Kentucky have received state assistance through the Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share program.  This program assists landowners with implantation of best management practices to preserve the soil and water resources on their property. 

Since the program began, more than $113 million has been approved for use in all of Kentucky’s 120 counties.  The sign up period for upcoming projects has been announced as Feb. 1-28.

As I may have mentioned in a previous column, I am trying to master the technique of preparing recipes based on exactly what I have in my pantry and refrigerator. It  isn’t easy, however, it is becoming a lot of fun for me.
When I used to work as a nurse, it was not unusual for a doctor to go shopping in our sample supply cabinet. We used to laugh a lot about that because the doctor would go through each shelf and place items in a little brown paper bag. It was fun to watch because we knew that he/she was doing everything to help cut costs for the patient.
