Kansas Recovery Resources
https://agriculture.ks.gov/news-events/kansas-wildfire-recovery-resources-december-2021
Farmers and ranchers who have had livestock death losses, livestock injuries, feed losses, or other losses as a result of the wildfire and storms this week are asked to contact your local USDA-FSA office to notify them of the damage as soon as possible. This will help your county office obtain access to relief funding.
In addition, you are reminded that documentation is key: save receipts, write down loss details, take photos, etc.
More detail about FSA programs and resources can be found below at "Links to Federal Programs and Services."
