Emergency Conservation Program
Author: Chelsey Anderson
Planning Unit: Cumberland County CES
Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation
Plan of Work: Livestock & Crops
Outcome: Initial Outcome
On May 4th, 2021, Cumberland County suffered from major flooding across the area. Producers lost crops, structures, livestock, etc. In the immediate aftermath, the Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) agent worked along with the county emergency manager (EM), the local Farm Service agency (FSA), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to access the damage. Producers were notified via social media and word of mouth to take photos and send them to the local FSA office to document the damage. In the next few days afterwards, a representative from the local FSA and NRCS office made visits to some of the hardest hit farms in the county. After some discussion a request was put in to the state FSA office for the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) for a total of $250,000.00. This did get approved and will begin in mid-July to assist those producers that lost a lot in the flood event.
