LOUISVILLE, KY (AP)- People in 79 Kentucky counties can make a few extra bucks if they're ready to get rid of an old refrigerator.

Louisville Gas and Electric Co. and Kentucky Utilities Co. are giving $30 for a properly recycled refrigerator or freezer.

As many hay producers make their first cutting, they are finding lower-than-normal yields. The lower yields are due to a variety of reasons and depend on the type of hay produced and the producer’s location, said Ray Smith, extension forage specialist with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.

An unseasonably mild winter and a warm March allowed the hay crop to mature quicker than normal. But many areas in Western Kentucky have had very little rain this spring, which could be one explanation for lower yields of grass hay. 

If anyone has had the misfortune of losing an animal, then it's no secret the loss that people feel when one is gone either by theft, escape, or just a mishap on the owners part.

Microchipped animals have a way to get back to you, as soon as they are found by an animal control, humane society, as well as most vets all over the country. 

The Humane Society of Henderson County will be microchipping all companion (cats and dogs) animals for the public on Tuesday May 15.  The clinic starts at noon, and will go no later than 7pm.  Come early, as late arrivals will be turned away!
