Need for funding will be great among regional farms, and this application will also allow us to better connect impacted farms with best-fit services being offered by our partner resource agencies. There may be an opportunity to circle back around with increased award amounts dependent upon funding and donations received to ASAP (feel free to share with your networks), and if so, this will be communicated once available.
63	If you have been impacted by Helene, please do contact your FSA office and Cooperative Extension agent to keep them informed of your damage. Contact information for these entities can be found in the "Production and Recovery Resources and TA" document.
64	If you make donations of farm products to your local food relief agencies (or other agencies), please keep track of associated products and costs. While we certainly can't guarantee anything, compensation for donated farm products is certainly one offering that is being pursued (again, no guarantees) by regional ag support agencies (including TRACTOR)
