Hurricane Disaster Assistance for Farmers
The Farmers’ Legal Action Group, in conjunction with Farm Aid and the Rural Advancement Foundation-International (RAFI), created a handout with information of resources for farmers in the path of Hurricanes Irma and María, which apply to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The info on “Navigating Disaster Assistance for Farmers” in PDF below is available Spanish and English, listing the federal programs that help farmers and rural victims of hurricanes Irma and María.
The Farmers’ Legal Action Group is a nonprofit law center dedicated to providing legal services and support to family farmers and their communities in order to help keep family farmers on the land based in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
