The impact of May's tornado will not be erased, but some land owners may be eligible for relief funds through the Federal Farm Service Agency.

Application deadline is January 25th, but the FSA office in Barron advises coming in early so that records can be created for those landowners who have not participated in FSA programs in the past.
