Athough the DeKalb-Cannon County Farm Service Agency (FSA) currently does not have a program signup available for farmland damages resulting from the March 29 high winds, the FSA office is asking agricultural landowners, crop producers, and livestock owners to telephone the office at 615-597-8225, Ext. 2 to report agricultural losses.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FSA office is not open to visitors. Donny Green, County Executive Director, encourages anyone with significant agricultural losses (fencing damage, debris in cropland/hayland/pastureland, land grading/leveling/shaping, and livestock deaths) to immediately telephone the FSA office so this information can be collected in the event approval is received to implement disaster assistance programs.

The DeKalb-Cannon FSA County Committee has requested approval from the Tennessee FSA State Committee to implement a signup for the Emergency Conservation Progam (ECP). The Livestock Indemnity Program is available for livestock producers who suffered livestock deaths as a result of a natural disaster. Livstock death losses must be reported no later than 30 days from the date the livestock death is first apparent.

When you call the office, staff will ask you to provide your county, name, general address of damage, type of damage (fencing, debris in cropland/hayland/pastureland, telephone number, and if you suffered any livestock losses as a direct result of the high winds.

It is important to remember the DeKalb-Cannon County FSA does not currently have a signup underway for assistance with fencing damage, debris removal, or land grading/leveling/shaping. The purpose of telephoning the office to report the damage is to provide information for FSA to build a contact list in the event a signup is approved.

Again, the office telephone number is 615-597-8225, Ext. 2. You may also email your information to the office at Donald.Green@USDA.Gov.

The office and shop complex of a Smithville business was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon.

Members of the Smithville Volunteer Fire Department were called to Len’s Auto Sales at 435 Dry Creek Road. Len Ferrell is the owner of the business.

According to Smithville Fire Chief Charlie Parker, the fire appeared to have started from the back part of the shop area and spread quickly to the office and to an old semi-trailer which had been converted to storage space. “The fire already had a good start by the time we arrived and the building couldn’t be saved,” said Chief Parker.

The business was closed at the time and no one was there. There were no injuries and no vehicles on the car lot were damaged.
