Farm Aid

25 days

The destruction that #HurricaneHelene left in its 800-mile wake is horrific. Agricultural producers in affected areas have had their farms, livestock, homes and livelihoods swept away, and many lack any form of safety net to soften the blow.

Resources for Farmers Affected by Hurricane Helene — Farm Aid

Farmers, Ranchers and Farmworkers: Get connected with national and state resources to recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.

The seeds are free for any Cherokee; this year, recipients are limited to two varieties because demand is so high. Last year, the bank sent 4,905 packages of seeds to citizens of federally recognized Cherokee tribes. This year, they will distribute a record 10,000 seed packets.

The Cherokee Nation's seed bank has about two dozen varieties of traditional crops, collected during travel throughout the U.S. The seed bank's efforts have become about preserving more of Cherokee culture — not just the plants, one organizer says.

A heartbreaking look at dairy crisis. "This year, Wisconsin... had lost 382 dairy farms by August; last year, the number at the same point was 283. The despair is palpable; suicide is a fact of life, though many farm suicides are listed as accidents."

Perspective | Dairy farming is dying. After 40 years, I’m done.

Family farms can’t survive low milk prices, tariffs and terrible government policies.
