Ag Tag

Ag Tag Donations

“Kentucky farmers and agricultural enthusiasts have helped us reach another fantastic total for the Ag Tag Program this year,” Commissioner Shell said. “This couldn’t be possible without the wonderful support of those who see value in supporting the next generation of farmers through their donations to the Ag Tag Fund. It’s that generosity that will help ensure Kentucky agriculture has a bright future.”

The AG Tag Program

This year’s total, $941,630, includes funds generated by the purchase or renewal of Kentucky’s farm vehicle license plate and the new “Friends of Agriculture” special license plate that became available in February. Each plate includes a fee that goes into the “Ag Tag” fund. The farm license plate generated $927,585, while the “Friends of Agriculture” special plate generated $14,045. The fees are divided equally between Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. This year, each group will receive $313,876.67.

We are Truly Thankful

“Kentucky 4-H is incredibly grateful for the success of the Ag Tag Program and the opportunities it provides to youth across the Commonwealth,” said Melissa Miller, executive director of the Kentucky 4-H Foundation. “As the number of Kentucky 4-Hers continues to grow every year, Ag Tag makes it possible to provide life-changing experiences, leadership opportunities, conferences, and skills that prepare young people for their futures. When you support Ag Tag, you are investing in young leaders who are making a difference in their clubs, communities, and the world.”

“Kentucky FFA celebrates the continued success of the Ag Tag Program,” said Sheldon McKinney, executive director of the Kentucky FFA Foundation. “As donations grow, the opportunities we can provide our members in FFA chapters across Kentucky grow. We have a record-breaking number of Kentucky FFA members, young people who are desiring a career in agriculture. It’s so special that they’ve found champions in Kentucky farmers supporting the Ag Tag program.”
