Hello Oklahoma farmers, ranchers, and agriculture enthusiasts!
Spring is upon us, and as many of us native Oklahomans know, this can be a prime time for both tornadoes and wildfires. Recent wildfires impacted many operations across the state, and we’ve had our first round of severe weather this spring. It’s devastating to witness these losses.
Please keep in mind that FSA offers a suite of disaster assistance programs that can help producers with recovery efforts following natural disasters.
If you’ve experienced any agricultural losses, I encourage you to contact your local FSA office to report those losses. It’s important for livestock producers to maintain accurate records and to provide documentation of any losses. For more details on what type of documentation is needed, please review our Fact Sheet on Verifiable and Reliable Documentation. Many of our programs require livestock producers to have both beginning inventory records and proof of loss records; however, accurate record keeping is imperative for all agricultural producers. Please check in with your county office to ensure you have the most accurate records for your operation to maintain eligibility.
As a reminder, the following deadlines are approaching for FSA programs:
- Continuous Conservation Reserve Program– March 20, 2026
- Farm Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program– April 17, 2026
- Supplemental Disaster Relief Program– April 30, 2026
Best regards, Eddie Fields State Executive Director
