It has been a tough spring for all of Tennessee, from flooding in the west, to hail, winds and tornados in the east, and all of it affects our farms and farmers across the state. Whether you live on a farm or just eat the food produced on one, agriculture is vital to our state.
These storms will have a lasting affect on our state and we would like to share some resources with you, farmer or non-farmer, that might help:
- Gov. Bill Haslam’s official storm victim resources page
- USDA Farm Service Agency Offers Disaster Assistance Programs
- University of Tennessee Extension disaster assistance education and information
- Red Cross
If you would like to share your story or pictures with a wider audience, there is a Facebook page set up for this exact purpose. Visit Flood the Fields With Hope to help spread the message!
