A central Kentucky farmer said he’s cautiously optimistic about this year’s growing season. Todd Clark has cattle and hay on 13 properties totaling more than 13-hundred acres. He’s a first-generation farmer who got started in Burley tobacco over 30 years ago and produces grass-finished beef for a leading grocery chain with his oldest son. He does have some worries, though.
“I'm a little concerned about the moisture or lack of moisture. We've had enough – certainly we don't need flooding, but we haven't had the sorts of rains that would recharge the groundwater from the past couple of dry years.”
