Nebraska Extension is partnering with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service to hold informational meetings on wildfire recovery April 8-10 in western Nebraska.
The meetings aim to help farmers and ranchers learn about available resources and address local needs. The program will include information on wildfire disaster relief programs and technical assistance, grazing and cropping options, recovery resources, mental health support and next steps.
Three meetings are scheduled from 3:30 to 6 p.m. local time. A meal will be served at 6 p.m. by Hot Meals USA to encourage conversation and idea sharing.
The meetings are April 8 at the Arthur Veterans Memorial Hall, April 9 at the Brady Community Center and April 10 at the Oshkosh City Auditorium.
The meetings will include presentations by Nebraska Extension professionals and representatives of the two partner agencies. All are welcome.
As part of the outreach effort, Nebraska Extension has wildfire recovery information available here. Nebraska Farm Service Agency wildfire resources are linked here in the “Spotlights" section.
