State, federal and local agencies, in conjunction with farming industry groups, will host a one-day Agriculture Recovery Center in Cedar County on Thursday, July 25 from noon to 8 p.m. to help Iowans recover from spring tornado and storm damage.
This walk-through event, designed as a resource fair, will provide information on addressing agricultural or rural needs that are not covered by standard programs offered by FEMA or the state of Iowa. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Iowa Insurance Division and other government agencies are working with industry organizations such as Iowa Pork Producers, Iowa Soybean and Iowa Cattlemen to ensure unmet needs are identified and resources are shared.
The event on Thursday, July 25, noon to 8 p.m., will be held at:
Cedar County Fairgrounds
Mathews Building
1195 210th St.
