Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Johnathan Shell personally thanked Adair County Judge Executive Larry Russell Bryant and the Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department, along with Wayne County County Judge Executive Scott Gehring and their Fire Department, in helping save over 150 animals during the water crisis in Clinton County. The Breeding Fire Department assisted hauling water for 3 days in the terrible cold weather conditions.

Commissioner Shell spoke at the 42nd Annual Kentucky County Judge Executives Winter Conference held at Griffin Gate Marriott Lexington, KY.

CJE Bryant and others from Adair County were in attendance.

"It was nice to see Adair county recognized for the good deeds of many during one of the coldest times I've experienced in many years," said ACJE Bryant. "Adair County First Responders are some of the best in the state. They're always there no matter how bad the weather is. I'd just like to say thank you to all who are there at some of the worst times in our lives."
