Farmers, if you experience 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.

We're excited to work with Tractor Supply and Starlink on a new initiative to bring fast, affordable internet access to rural America while supporting @4-H youth.
From Sept. 1 – Nov. 1, for every Starlink Kit purchased and registered at Tractor Supply, the first month’s subscription will support 4-H.
