Even though the deadline to sign up for the Hurricane Florence Agricultural Disaster Program was Dec. 10, Commissioner Troxler urges farmers to continue to sign up for the program. An extension request is currently moving through the N.C. General Assembly.
“The deadline officially passed last night at midnight, said Troxler. “I encourage you to go online and get you name, address, phone number and social security number entered and you will be signed up tentatively.”
