The United States Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) declared Franklin and Lincoln Counties eligible to receive pasture assistance payments due to drought.
According to Rhonda Scharer of the Franklin County FSA office, “Franklin County farmers are eligible to receive a disaster payment based on their acres of pasture and the number of animals they have grazing. Producers can utilize the payment at their discretion to assist them in dealing with drought conditions. Currently the drought assistance program covers pastures only and does not include hay.”
For information call the Franklin County FSA office during regular business hours at 967-2521, extension 2.
