Moran Announces Emergency Haying and Grazing Extension for Kansas Producers

USDA Approves Haying and Grazing for Sheridan County

HOXIE - Congressman Jerry Moran today announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has taken further steps to assist producers suffering from drought in Kansas. In counties where Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land has been approved for emergency haying and grazing, the Farm Service Agency County Director may extend the ending date to September 30 in certain circumstances. USDA also announced that Sheridan County has been approved for emergency haying and grazing of CRP acres.

"Every little bit helps," Moran said. "It has been a long process to reach this point, but the announcement of Sheridan County and the ability to extend the end date for emergency haying and grazing will further help Kansas farmers and ranchers."

Moran is a senior member of the House Committee on Agriculture.
