Washington County has been approved for Emergency Haying of CRP due to drought conditions. The emergency haying of CRP acres has to be completed by tomorrow and producers must contact the FSA office prior to making the hay. Producers must call the office no later than 2:30 this afternoon to take part in the program. The short deadline is due in part to the holiday weekend. The emergency haying has been approved for Iowa and Washington counties.
