The USDA has a website called Farmers.gov that I have not visited before. It has a lot of very useful information for farmers, including links to programs for disaster relief, crop insurance, and planning for natural disasters. This week’s blog post is a guide to drought programs that you might find useful the next time you are in a drought or are trying to plan for how to make your farm more resilient to extreme weather. Check it out and see what information is of most use to you.
