State, federal and local agencies, in conjunction with farming industry groups, will host a one-day Agriculture Recovery Center in O’Brien County on Tuesday, August 27 to help Iowans recover from flooding and storm damage.
This event will be held from from noon to 8:00 p.m. at the Sheldon Community Services Center (City Hall) on the Third Floor.
The walk-through event, designed as a resource fair, will provide information on addressing agricultural or rural needs that are not covered by standard programs offered by FEMA or the state of Iowa. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Iowa Insurance Division and other government agencies are working with industry organizations such as Iowa Pork Producers, Iowa Soybean and Iowa Cattlemen to ensure unmet needs are identified and resources are shared.
