The Wisconsin Farm Service Agency Director expects they will be trying to help many farmers impacted by the soggy late summer weather. Sandy Chalmers tells Brownfield, “There’s a lot of interest in Emergency Livestock Assistance (ELAP) for the feed losses and for the Emergency Conservation Program for rehabilitation of fields and conservation structures.”
Chalmers says the Emergency Livestock Assistance Program can help cover up to 70% of feed replacement and transportation costs.
