I have spent the last two days driving through southwestern Georgia, where rivers are flooding and the damage from Hurricane Michael is still visible all around that part of the state. After seeing all of the evidence of extreme weather and the horrific pictures of the damage caused by the Nashville tornado earlier this week, I thought it was a good time to remind you that it is important for everyone, but especially agricultural producers, to have a disaster plan that you review at regular intervals. This article from Dairy Herd describes what you need to include, such as inventory of equipment, how to deal with injured cattle, reviewing insurance plans, etc. Even if you don’t have livestock, if you are a commercial farmer you need to have plans in place in case of a weather or other emergency. (It would not hurt the rest of us to do it, too!). You can read the article here.
