State Rep. Dolores Gresham’s husband has received $26,850 in state taxpayer-funded farm grants since 2006 and is approved for $9,040 more, making their farm the top Fayette County recipient of the grant program.

James Gresham was approved for cost-sharing grants totaling $35,890 to help pay for improvements on the cattle farm east of Somerville he owns with his wife. She sits on the House Agriculture Committee and in the legislature that funded the program.
