Farms, ranches, food warehouses, pesticide dealers and more all have different needs, but the planning basics are the same. Click around.

The Disaster Hay Assistance Portal is a resource to connect farmers that have lost their feed supply during a disaster with those who may have hay or feed to donate. NO SALES OR TRANSACTIONS ARE MADE ON THIS WEBSITE. The requests and offers are collected and sent to NCSU Cooperative Extension where they are matched and coordinated by Extension personnel.

NCDA&CS assumes no liability for those farmers utilizing this service and recommends pursuing multiple avenues to secure feed following a disaster. Various disaster programs may be available to provide financial assistance for purchasing feed and can be found HERE
