March is “Ag Tag Month” in Kentucky, as unlike standard passenger vehicles all farm vehicle license registrations in the commonwealth are renewed annually during March.
In addition to ensuring farm equipment and vehicles are up to date on their registration, Ag Tag Month also represents a major fundraiser for Kentucky agriculture students. The Hardin County Clerk’s Office says when renewing farm tags, residents have the option to donate $10. Those donations are equally split between Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s educational programs and scholarships.
Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith says county residents have consistently shown their support, as the county has historically ranked in the top five for Ag Tag donations.
“Our goal this year is to keep the momentum strong,” Smith said. “These donations stay right here in Kentucky and are invested in Hardin County to support our area Ag students, providing them with the resources and leadership skills they need to thrive.”
Smith says it is easy to support the next generation of Kentucky farmers.
“You can renew and donate in person by visiting us at the Hardin County Clerk’s Office, either in the Hardin County Government Building in Elizabethtown or at our Radcliff location during the month of March,” Smith said. “If you wish to donate, you can inform the clerk to add a $10 voluntary donation to your renewal fee. Renewals can also be processed online at drive.ky.gov, and the $10 donation can be made there as well.”
