Programs that shall be created by the board and overseen and implemented by the board or committees include:

The board may authorize moneys to the Department of Agriculture for each year of the biennium to be used for agriculture market development and infrastructure; and

(b) An Agricultural Entrepreneurship Program overseen by the board to support small farm agricultural diversification through technical assistance, business mentoring, and financial incentives.

(a) An Environmental Stewardship Program to provide cost-share assistance to farmland owners for compliance with the state agriculture water quality plan and other environmental compliance requirements; and

Priority shall be given to the tobacco-impacted communities most adversely affected by tobacco losses. The General Assembly shall authorize the issuance of bonds through the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority for this program.

(3) The board may create and fund other agricultural assistance programs in addition to those created under subsection (1) of this section, including an environmental cleanup program for cost-share assistance to tobacco warehouse operators for demolition and abatement of environmental hazards associated with tobacco warehouse structures.
