FARMERS: The application deadline for the USDA/NCDA Disaster Block Grant Relief Program has been extended from May 15 to June 12 for all four assistance categories!

If Hurricane Helene damaged your farm, don't leave disaster recovery dollars on the table: over $221 million is available for Hurricane Helene losses across the 39 declared disaster counties in North Carolina, but many producers who qualify for assistance in these categories haven't yet applied. Have you?

If your operation suffered losses from Hurricane Helene, now is the time to act. These funds have been allocated to help North Carolina agriculture recover long-term — but producers must apply by June 12 to be considered, so don’t miss this opportunity to recover costs and reinvest in your operation.

www.ncagr.gov/agdisaster/FederalBlockGrantAssistance

There is money available in four categories (detailed info about each on slides):

🚧 Farm Infrastructure – Repair or replacement of damaged farm structures, roads, and bridges.

🍎 Market Loss Assistance for Commodities and Value-Added Products – Losses caused by power outages that reduced or destroyed the value of harvested or unharvested commodities and select value-added products.

🥬 Future Economic Loss – Long-term losses for perennial crops, poultry, and aquaculture operations. Eligible specialty crops must be replanted in 2025 or 2026.

🌲 Timber Loss Relief Program – Assistance for private landowners with at least 10 contiguous acres of moderate to catastrophic timber damage.

Producers can call NCDA at (866) 747-9823 with questions and for application support. Sample applications are available for each category on the grant website.

THIS IS WHAT ADVOCACY LOOKS LIKE. 🌱📢

We showed up and showed out for this week's Local Food Lobby Day at the North Carolina General Assembly! CFSA's Policy Team joined dozens of our friends from food hubs, farmers' markets, food access organizations, and agriculture-focused nonprofits based across the state for a day of advocacy in support of FarmsSHARE, Double-Up Bucks (DUNC), and Sun Bucks programs.

Highlights included productive meetings with more than 60 legislators, handing out NC-grown apples and strawberries on the lawn at lunchtime (fun fruit & veg costumes included!🍎), and a press conference spotlighting House Bill 1154 ("Expand the FarmSHARE Food Hub Program"), which would provide funding for FarmsSHARE and DUNC in the state budget.

We're proud to report that the bill now has over 50 co-sponsors, representing extensive bipartisan support for programs that support local food systems, rural economies, public health, and small-scale farms in North Carolina. 💪 With demonstrated positive impact and a truly impressive return on investment, these programs are win-win opportunities for NC's local food system, and we are optimistic that the HB 1154 will progress successfully through the House and Senate and be included in the NC Budget alongside funding for Sun Bucks.

Thanks to all the partner organizations and legislators who participated in the Local Food Lobby Day! 💚 Read a recap of the day on NC Newsline: ncnewsline.com/briefs/republican-lawmakers-advocates-push-to-strengthen-nc-food-systems-farms/
