Nebraska producers and landowners affected by recent wildfires have an opportunity to learn about recovery support through an upcoming webinar. The event is organized by the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. It aims to provide clear guidance on federal assistance programs available after wildfire damage.
The webinar, “Wildfire Recovery Programs: USDA Resources for Nebraska,” will take place on April 15 at noon Central Time. Experts from the state offices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, including the Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, will lead the session. They will explain how different programs can help individuals recover and rebuild.
Participants will learn about support for livestock losses, grazing and forage damage, and repair of fencing and water systems. The webinar will also cover help for debris removal and conservation programs that assist with land recovery. These topics are important for restoring farm operations and protecting long-term productivity.
Speakers will also explain how to apply for these programs and what steps producers should take when working with local USDA offices. This information helps participants understand the process and make better decisions during recovery.
The webinar is free, but registration is required. Interested participants can sign up through the Center for Agricultural Profitability webinars page. More information on wildfire assistance programs is also available on the Nebraska Farm Service Agency website.
This event offers valuable support to those affected by wildfires. By attending, producers and landowners can gain knowledge, explore available resources, and take important steps toward recovery and rebuilding their agricultural operations.
