The unrelenting rains this spring and summer have created many challenges that the farming community is now sorting through.

In order to help with decisions, OSU Extension has created an “Addressing 2019 Agricultural Challenges” Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) webpage.

This page provides the most up-to-date answers to questions about topics ranging from Market Facilitation Program (MFP) and disaster payments, to cover crops, forages, livestock concerns, management of crops that are out of sync with normal planting dates, as well as answers to more questions as information becomes available.

There is also an option to submit questions that you would like answered. Webinars with more detailed information will also be shared at this location.

The page is available at go.osu.edu/AgCrisis, or CLICK HERE. Since the situation farmers are facing is constantly evolving, be sure to check back for the latest information available.

Resources that are available to farmers at this location include 2019 Ag Crisis FAQs and webinars; Farm Stress for both individuals and people serving the farm community; C.O.R.N. Newsletter for agronomic crop farmers; Buckeye Dairy News for dairy producers; Ohio Beef Cattle Letter and Ohio Ag Manager for livestock producers; Ohio Fruit News for fruit producers; VegNet Newsletter for vegetable growers; and Buckeye Appellation for wine grape growers.
