It’s been dry across the counties, but those scattered showers we’ve seen lately have been a welcome sight. With haying season underway, the work doesn’t stop just because it’s dry out there, and we know many of you are doing what you can to stay ahead of conditions.
With drought conditions persisting, please remember that programs like ELAP and LFP may offer support for eligible losses. If the dry weather is impacting your operation, feel free to reach out so we can walk through the options together.
Also, a reminder to get your acreage reporting completed on time. The deadline is July 15th. Staying current helps keep all program benefits and eligibility in place.
As always, feel free to reach out if you need an appointment or have questions.
