Given the contentious nature of the process, Jenrose Fitzgerald, Lisa Markowitz, and I are not surprised that different players have different perspectives on the events leading up to the passage of House Bill 611. We do not mean to suggest that the CFA single-handedly got this legislation passed, or that the other key players were not also involved. We also do not mean to suggest that the Agricultural Development Board did not meet with CFA during the process. Our understanding is that the CFA was not included in the initial KARDA group, and that they ultimately decided to participate on their own terms rather than working through this channel. Our account does indeed highlight the role of CFA, since our research underscores the fact that this organization had a major influence on the legislation and its farmer-driven approach that has not necessarily been acknowledged or reflected in official accounts of the process. Given all the time and energy CFA members spent working to ensure that small farmers would be the primary beneficiaries of the Agricultural Development Fund, we believe that their story is an important part of this chapter of Kentucky history. That said, we see the uniquely democratic structure of House Bill 611 as a testament to the hard work of everyone involved in pulling this legislation together.
