FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Department of Agriculture was awarded a Specialty Crop Block Grant for $302,620.11 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to work with the University of Kentucky and other organizations and commodity groups to strengthen markets for specialty crops in Kentucky.
“This funding will greatly enhance our efforts to help Kentucky’s specialty crop businesses grow and prosper,” Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said. “This investment in our specialty crop industry will boost Kentucky’s rural economy.”

It was late summer in 2005 when I first experienced Nighthawks for the first time. In fact, it was the only time I had seen them peppering the sky until last weekend. On both occasions it was late afternoon; but this year the sky was bright, so we watched the nighthawks against a clear blue back ground as they moved about.
Since I had seen and identified the Nighthawks back in 2005, I knew immediately what was in the sky, as more then 2-dozen birds soared about in memorizing configurations.
