USDA Offers Recovery Aid for Farmers Affected by Hurricane Helene and Other Natural Disasters

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides farmers with critical recovery assistance. Programs like the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP) address livestock losses, while crop insurance helps farmers recover from crop damage. Financial assistance through the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) supports land restoration efforts.

Additionally, the USDA offers loans to help cover essential expenses such as feed, replanting, and rebuilding. Farmers are encouraged to visit USDA service centers to access help tailored to their specific needs, ensuring that they receive timely aid.
