The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last week that it will make available $800 million to Southeast agricultural producers affected by hurricanes Michael and Florence. The state block grants are part of a broader $3 billion package to help producers recover from 2018 and 2019 natural disasters. Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black explains that while information is out that signup for the block grants will be ready by Thanksgiving, that is not really the case.
As soon as the Georgia Department of Agriculture sets the sign-up dates, we’ll let you know.
