What we found

Context. Sources [0], [1], [2], [4], [5], [9], [10] and [11] cover McMahon's grant cancellations and Education Department dismantling, but none names the farm-to-cafeteria program.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Context. Sources [6] and [7] only repeat the claim as Andy Beshear's quoted statement, so they are circular and cannot corroborate it.[9][10]

Context. Farm-to-school style programs are not evidently within the Education Department's grant portfolio described in the sources, so the silence is not evidence against the claim.[4][7]
