LEVY COUNTY, Fla. – On Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a Farmer Recovery Center will be open at the Suwannee River Fair, at 17851 NW 90th Ave in Fanning Springs.
At the Farmer Recovery Center, you can learn about disaster assistance programs available for farmers. You will be able to meet with representatives from USDA Farm Service Agency, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA Rural Development, and U.S. Small Business Administration.
