Maryland Begins Listing Commodities,
Producers In Need Of Feed Supplies
BY JOYCE BUPP
York County Correspondent
While York County was just
gaining disaster status this week,
agricultural extension agents in
neighboring Maryland were
working to pull together lists of
commodities available and
producers in need of feed supplies.
All but two Maryland counties
have been designated disaster
areas, eligible for federal
emergency programs. Only
Allegheny and Garrett counties
are not included in Maryland’s
official disaster area; however,
Allegheny County, because it is
contiguous to disaster status
counties, will still be eligible for
those federal programs.
In Carroll County, one of
Maryland’s hardest hit counties,
Extension personnel are trying to
bring available commodities and
producers in need of supplies
together.

Grain producer David Trout faces considerably less than
half a normal corn crop with depressed prices for what crops
he does harvest.
“We’re trying to assemble in
formation on any commodities for
sale, but primarily com and hay,”
says assistant county agent Walter
Bay. “We’d like to get supplies for
farmers needing hay at a
reasonable cost.”
And while local supplies would
entail less transportation cost, the
commodity supplier list already
includes names from both Penn
sylvania and upper New York,
primarily commercial commodity
dealers equipped to handle
volume.
In addition, Carroll County’s
ASCS and FHA offices are helping
to compile lists of farmers who
might need emergency supplies of
donated hay. A meeting is
scheduled Aug. 19 with feed sup
pliers, farm lenders and related
agencies and services, to clarify
emergency help available to
farmers. And a producer meeting,
set for Sept. 23, after silage har-

balance feedstuffs on hand and

needs.
Carroll County farmers seeking
information on feedstuffs and
suppliers are asked to contact the
county’s extension office at 301-848-
4611.
Across Maryland, the state’s
department of Agriculture is
serving in a similar
“clearinghouse” capacity for
those who both need, or have to
sell, appropriate feedstuffs.
During regular business office
hours, calls should be made to 301-
841-5770. Evenings and weekends,
a toll-free number is available at 1-
800-638-2209, where a recorded
message may be left, with
Maryland Department of
Agriculture officials making
follow-up contacts to those leaving
messages.
