[Ctyfc] Follow up on winter storm resources

[Katie Tritsch]

Thanks Susie, I’m sure you’re right! I don’t mean to discourage folks, just giving a heads up based on what we were told. When I asked about costs to apply, the trainer mentioned the acreage reporting requirement, which could assess a fee in some circumstances (though I assume it would be nominal). There is no application fee.

>> One barrier I see is, although there's no cost to apply to FSA disaster programs, if you don't already work with FSA and/or don't have your acreage reported, you will have to work with them to do so for a fee. And when in doubt, call your county office to figure out if your specific situation applies.
