LaRue Co. family takes home national honor

A LaRue county family has been honored with a national agriculture award. It was announced yesterday that the Ragland family of Shady Rest Farm in LaRue county were named winners of the Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award during the virtual American Farm Bureau Federation convention. The family had previously been named 2020 Outstanding Young Farm Family by the Kentucky Farm Bureau. That honor allowed them to compete with other families across the country. And the prize for the win? A brand new Ford truck.
