COVID-19 was described recently by Scott Carlson of Farmers\u2019 Legal Action Group (FLAG) as \u201csimilar to being hit by a natural disaster.\u201d Or even \u201can earthquake and then a tsunami.\u201d COVID-19 will take many lives. The news of the day becomes another event to add to the stresses. All of us will be affected personally in one or a multitude of ways and in ways that may not wreck crops or equipment but may affect markets, community relationships, processing, and distribution chains. Most disasters mean a long recovery period for farmers – not 2 months but disaster experts say that it is more like 2 years. So we are in this for the long haul. FLAG just published this excellent guide<\/a> for farmers to use when navigating the various agencies and programs offering COVID-19 assistance.<\/p>\n
