Weather Information

Current weather is the we in Eddy County will be the focus of incoming weather for the next 48 hours. Predicted 3-6 inches new snow. If you can get livestock feed or hay put out, need to do so today. If you need resources to do that call your local county agent. In Eddy that is Woods Houghton 887-6595 361-2852. He will contact the Eddy EOC and see what can be done. Call your FSA office and file losses. If you know there are dead livestock or you suspect there are call, go into e-mail or fax in to FSA and start the process. We also need these to help us. Due to the way the Farm Bill is written you need to separate 2015 and 2016. There is a January 30 dead line to file for 2015 losses. The positive is the payment limitation restarts 1 January. One thing you can do to keep water tubs open that I use is to fill a couple one gallon jugs half full of salt water and put in drinkers they wont freeze and will float. It helps and if you do have to break ice gives you a starting point.
