NCDA&CS Offers Hotline for Farmers Affected by Storm

The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services recently activated its toll-free weather emergency hotline to help farmers affected by the winter storm connect with resources.

“Farmers who have an agricultural emergency can call 1-866-645-9403,” said Troxler. “We are ready to help connect farmers with local resources right away.”

Farmers can call the hotline to connect with resources to help with recovery from ice, snow or wind damage and power outages.
