Farm Service Agency to present program info

The Farm Service Agency will be hosting a program next week designed for agricultural operators within Crook County. The presentation will focus on the 2018 Farm Bill and new information regarding how the agency can assist community members with available programs.

Among the questions to be answered, the presentation will look at how an agricultural operator can access help to recover after a blizzard, fire, hail, tornado or other extreme weather event. Programs are available for farmers and ranchers that have suffered the loss of, for example, land, crops, livestock or honeybees.

Farm Service Agency will also explain how they can help with funding, including operating, ownership, youth and farm storage facility loans. As well as information about the different programs, the presentation will address eligibility and documentation requirements.

The presentation will take place on September 6 at 1 p.m. at the Sundance State Bank Meeting Room in the post office building. If you have any questions, contact 283-2870, ext. 2.
