LINCOLN — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Nebraska is reminding the state’s producers who suffered impacts due to recent severe winter weather of programs that may be available for assistance.
Agricultural producers are encouraged to contact the FSA county office at their local USDA Service Center to learn about programs and how to apply for assistance, including understanding needed documentation, such as farm records, herd inventory, receipts and pictures of damages or losses.
“The recent extreme cold and winter weather has been a challenge for farmers and ranches in Nebraska,” said Tim Davis, acting state executive director for Nebraska FSA, “We know some producers have experienced losses or other impacts. USDA offers assistance programs that may be able to help.”
