The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) has received a USDA grant to assist producers in 90 counties who suffered losses in 2018-2019 from Hurricanes Florence, Michael, and Dorian.  Robeson County is included in those 90 counties.  Producers must have suffered a 15 percent loss in order to qualify.

This program will offer direct payments to eligible confined poultry/swine and plasticulture producers, as well as woodland owners. Information on qualifying situations and the online application portal can be found at Ag Disaster Program.  Applicants will have to provide accurate contact information (email and cell phone) for NCDA&CS to follow up before approval will be granted.

Applications will be accepted from July 1 through October 1, 2021.

If you have questions about or need help completing the application, please contact your local extension agent at 910-671-3276.
