Frankfort, KY. (June 13, 2006) This summer the Governor’s Office of Agricultural Policy (GOAP) will once again host a series of roundtable discussions across the Commonwealth.  These meetings will give extension agents, county council members, agricultural leaders and GOAP staff the chance to discuss the future of the Agricultural Development Fund (ADF).
