We are one of the 95 counties that are eligible for the Farm Recovery Grant state legislature fought for from the USDA. These moneys are not available yet to Georgians but the GDA wants interested parties to be prepared with documentation in anticipation for when the online application goes live.
The Georgia Farm Bureau Action Center describes the situation being that:
“The Georgia Department of Agriculture is working diligently with USDA to finalize details for the Georgia Farm Recovery Block Grant, which will cover qualifying losses from Hurricane Michael not covered by other USDA disaster programs. To help farmers prepare for the application process, GDA has released the Georgia Farm Recovery Block Grant Application Guide. The guide, which can be viewed below, explains the enrollment process and details the documents that will be required to apply for block grant assistance.
Once federal approval is received, there will be a three-week sign up period. Georgia Farm Bureau will notify our members when that time arrives. In the meantime, we encourage you to use the application guide to begin collecting relevant documents and information so that you will be able to submit your application quickly and efficiently when the sign up period begins”
That said, the online application (once live) will be housed at this site: farmrecovery.com
At this site currently is a two page Application Guide for the Farm Recovery Block Grant.
Below is the guide as a pdf link and as pictures:
Thanks and let me know if there are any questions (229-417-7062).
Best Wishes,
