As producers and landowners are picking up the pieces after the Panhandle wildfires, there are a number of resources available to help.  This episode highlights those resources and provides infomration about how others who are interested can help in the recovery efforts. Dr. Bart Fischer from the Ag and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M University walks us through the various USDA programs for which those landowners and producers impacted by fires may qualify.   Dr. Monty Dozier explains the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension efforts on the ground, including the livestock supply points.  He also highlights ongoing needs for those who may wish to donate.
