Funding for the program is provided by Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, participant tuition fees and contributions from agribusinesses, farm organizations, program alumni, and others supporting the program. Cash expenses for a class are approximately $300,000 or $15,000 per participant, with an additional $10,000 to $15,000 of in-kind expenses per participant.

To help offset the costs of the program, each participant will be required to pay $2,500. Financial assistance can be arranged for those who qualify.  We do not want tuition to cause anyone to forfeit participation.
