Disaster Assistance for Drought & Other Losses
December 14, 2016 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us to learn about the financial assistance available to help farms cope with 2016 losses and plan for the future. This workshop will discuss the direct financial compensation for losses available through USDA-FSA disaster assistance programs; funding available from USDA-NRCS and MDAR; new insurance options like Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and low-interest loan programs. Representatives from FSA, UMass Extension, and Signal Rock AG Insurance will be on hand to discuss these programs and to meet one-one-one with growers seeking personal advice. Dinner will be served. Cost is $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. RSVP to Kristen at 413-665-7100 or kristen@buylocalfood.org by December 12th and payment can be submitted at the links below.
CISA is an equal opportunity provider. This workshop is supported in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, under Federal Award Identification No. FAMA-6-007, and by individual contributors and Local Hero members.
