The Missouri Farm Service Agency has held two days of
meetings in Northwest Missouri with federal and state agency folks to help
farmers get questions answered about flood recovery.
Meetings were in
Atchison and Holt counties, with farmers from Buchanan and Andrew counties also
in attendance.
Director Brent Hampy says a lot of them are concerned about
eligibility to get debris cleared from their lands. In addition to an FSA and
an NRCS program for that, he says, the state wants to pitch in, “Governor
Parson and Director Chinn were wanting to make sure that anybody that fell
through the cracks on needing assistance in between those two programs, the
Missouri Department of Ag was going to look and see if they could accomplish
any of those needs as well.”
Farmers in Atchison and Holt Counties in Missouri are
eligible for low interest loans under the presidential disaster declaration for
Nebraska.
