Troxler makes urgent plea for fencing supplies for WNC livestock producers
“We have seen time and time again our agriculture community support one another in times of need, and this is no different,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “We are seeing an outpouring of support with hay, animal feed, fencing and other supplies that are going out to those needing these resources. In the days ahead, we know we are going to need even more fencing supplies, especially solar fence chargers to help livestock producers. If you have resources to donate, please go to our website to let us know.”
The direct link to the Disaster Hay and Livestock Assistance Portal is https://go.ncsu.edu/livestockdisasterhelp. The form asks if you need help or want to help. To donate click on the ‘Want to Help’ button, then you will be asked for contact information and items you have to donate.
Various donation collection sites have been set up in and around Western North Carolina. For a list of these sites that are being continuously updated, go to: https://www.ncagr.gov/emergency-programs/disaster-information/agsupplydonation
