VT Agency of Agriculture releases new resource page for farmers impacted by flooding
This week, historic floods have damaged many farms across the state of Vermont. To help impacted farmers, the Agency of Agriculture Food and Markets created a new resource page on their website. It contains information about reporting crop losses and field damage. There’s also specific information for produce growers, dairy operations, meat and poultry processors. There are also resources for recovery funding opportunities. Anson Tebbetts, the state secretary of agriculture, food, and markets, said Vermont is looking at millions of dollars in damages. Local farms are already seeing the impact of the floods. See related video: On Sunday evening, Gov. Phil Scott declared a state of emergency due to the flooding. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden approved Vermont’s Emergency Declaration to allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help coordinate all disaster relief efforts in Vermont.
