For Alabama farmers facing agricultural losses from Hurricane Isaias, the USDA offers a range of recovery resources. Check out a list of assistance programs that might apply to your situation at https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/farm-management/agricultural-disaster-assistance-programs/.

Farmers, if you've experienced damage or losses from Hurricane Isaias, take the following steps to ensure proper documentation and assistance:

📸 Before starting any cleanup, take time-stamped photos of all damages and losses.

📞 Contact your Farm Service Agency (FSA) to report losses. This helps in preparing a Loss Assessment Report, crucial for designating an agricultural disaster area.

🌱 Report losses within 72 hours of discovery, and provide a signed written notice within 15 days. This must be done before cleanup starts to ensure proper documentation.

📋 If you're enrolled in the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) or other disaster programs, contact your local FSA office for a waiver before beginning any cleanup.
