Drought levels have improved slightly over the last week. But several parts of the state remain under a D3 and D2 level of drought.
We need help from those who would be willing to take a few minutes to complete a survey concerning the drought conditions you are facing. The survey is very personalized, allows for free text, and you can upload pictures.
You can fill out the survey by clicking on the following link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/.../850f937a1956425dab70cf3a...
Just a reminder:
Livestock and hay producers impacted by drought should contact their USDA Farm Service Agency office to determine their eligibility for several livestock assistance programs, including the Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish; and emergency loans.
If any portion of a county has been declared by the U.S. Drought Monitor as D3 during the normal grazing period, producers in the entire county become eligible for FSA assistance.
Areas designated as D2 drought level for at least eight consecutive weeks during the normal grazing period also become eligible for assistance.
For more information contact your local FSA offices. Here is the link to find your local office: https://bit.ly/USDAServiceLocator
