In the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System is working with local farm organizations and state and federal government agencies to document agricultural damages made to crops, livestock, buildings, and equipment.

Alabama farmers are encouraged to work with their county Extension office to share time- and date-stamped pictures and videos of this damage. Farmers can also submit this documentation online at www.aces.edu/go/Isaias. The deadline to submit videos and pictures is Friday, October 16 at 5 p.m.

This information will be used to create a public report that documents the effects of Hurricane Isaias on Alabama agriculture. No personal or identifying information of farmers will be included in the report.

Further Reporting

Farmers should also contact their local US Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) office to report losses related to Hurricane Isaias. Each county FSA office will complete a Loss Assessment Report as part of the official process of designating a county as an agricultural disaster area.
