Massachusetts Weather-Related Agricultural Losses 2023-2024
The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) is gathering information from farmers about weather-related losses in 2023 and 2024 in order to work with USDA to design a program to provide financial relief for those losses. Your response to this survey will help us determine how much funding Massachusetts should request from the federal government, and what types of losses coverage is needed for. Questions ask about losses due to particular events in 2023 and 2024, as well as due to longer-term stresses exacerbated by weather conditions in these two years.
Please direct any questions to MDAR Deputy Commissioner Winton Pitcoff at winton.pitcoff2@mass.gov.
This survey will remain open through Friday, January 17.
