Collapse ▲One week ago, North Carolina’s Governor Stein and the General Assembly authorized funding through the Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 to help producers recoup crop losses from Hurricane Helene and other agricultural disasters that occurred in 2024. This funding program will be administered through the NC Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Disaster Crop Loss Program, with allocations of $200 million for verifiable losses from Hurricane Helene and $100 million for verifiable losses from all other Secretarial-declared agricultural disasters in 2024 including drought, Tropical Storm Debby and Potential Tropical Cyclone 8.
It’s anticipated that the funding application will be available in early April 2025, with full details available in the coming days. The application period for this program will likely be just a few weeks, so any producer that wants to apply for this program should proactively secure a copy of the Farm Service Agency’s Producer Form, FSA 578 from their local USDA-FSA office. For those who do not have a FSA 578 already on file for the 2024 crop year, local FSA offices should be able to assist with creation of Non-Certified 2024 578 crop report for the purpose of the program.
The Buncombe/Madison County Farm Service Agency maintains offices in each county. The Asheville Service Center is staffed on Wednesdays, and it is recommended that producers make an appointment in advance by calling the Asheville office at 828/254-0916 or the Madison County office at 828/649-2712 on other weekdays. This page will be updated as further details are available.
