FSA reminds of relief signup
Adrian J. Polansky, state executive director of USDA's Farm Service Agency in Kansas, wants to remind producers that cost share funds are available to help provide emergency water to livestock for agriculture producers affected by drought in all Kansas counties except Republic.
ECP signup began on Oct. 15 and will continue through Nov. 15. Kansas has received $6.1 million in Emergency Conservation Program allocation to help producers in need of assistance.
Producers may make a request in approved counties by filing an application for cost-share assistance under the ECP through Nov. 15 at their local FSA office. ECP is being implemented to assist in providing access to water because of an extended period of severe drought.
Contact the FSA office at your local USDA Service Center. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Participants can receive cost-share assistance of up to 75 percent of the cost for temporary measures and 50 percent of the cost for permanent measures for approved emergency conservation practices. Practices approved are EC6, Drought Measures (For example, constructing and deepening wells, installing pipe to another source of water because primary source is inadequate.) and EC7, Hauling Water for Livestock (For example, hauling water, tanks and troughs.).
