Author: HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Farmers, producers and landowners who have had damage or losses from last month’s tornadoes are urged to contact the Farm Service Agency for financial aid.
The Madison County FSA Office has requested funding under the Emergency Conservation Program to cover the damages.
The program is for farmers and landowners who received farmland damages from the April 27 storms and the ensuing flooding. It provides cost-share assistance to eligible farmers and landowners for debris removal, fence restoration, destroyed terraces and the like. The deadline to register is July 8.
Funds are also being requested for Emergency Forest Restoration Program to help restore private forest land. The deadline has not been set, but those who are interested should visit the county FSA office on Cook Avenue.
For producers who have lost livestock, the FSA can provide assistance under Livestock Indemnity Program and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program. A “Notice of Loss” must be submitted within 30 days of the loss and can be made by calling or visiting the FSA office.
For more information, visit the Madison County FSA Office in Huntsville at 819 Cook Ave., Room 123, or call 256-532-1677, ext. 2.
