Greetings All,
Well, I said I was going to try to change my ways and use a different format for our blog. Needless to say it didn't work. I am no tech whiz, so we will go back to this format for a while. To catch you up on what's going on...it's raining, in case you've been living in a cave.
Suffered Ag Loss in Storms?
If you suffered from agriculture losses from flooding, not including horses or fences in a flood zone, please let me know - as we need to report that to the USDA (FSA). Just e-mail me: jzansley@ag.tamu.edu and I will put you in touch with our FSA representative for Travis County. If you already reported damages to him...Thank you!If you do not reside in Travis County, but need assistance, I will be glad to put you in touch with your local USDA office.
