A Kansas cattle producer says his local USDA office has helped cut through Washington red tape as he continues to rebuild from December’s wildfire.
Ethan Dickerson of Paradise says enrolling in disaster assistance programs are complicated, but “Our local USDA guys have been absolutely incredible, helped us out any chance they got,” he says. “They came out first thing after the fire and told us what we needed to document to make sure we could qualify for their programs.”
He says one program requires that new fences meet certain standards to help prevent damage from future disasters.
