Disaster Assistance
« on: August 22, 2014, 08:52:44 am »
So I was sitting in my fall adjuster's class listening to the speaker drone on about the new farm bill, when she mentioned that the ELAP (The Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program) will now be able to provide emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish that have suffered losses because of disease, severe weather, blizzards and wildfires.

Thought I'd share the link for those who think they may qualify.

Not entirely sure. I myself haven't checked into it.  Your local FSA office would be able to help with that.  While in there, might want to check on any programs in place to help plant acreage for pollinators as well :D
