Are you an Ohio Farmer Impacted by the 2024 Drought?

While the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is closely monitoring the impacted counties, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) plays a critical role in assessing drought and aiding farmers. 

While Delaware County is not currently in the D-3 Extreme Drought ZONE, this designation is subject to change with more resources potentially available soon. We will keep this webpage updated as we find out more, so check back frequently for new information. You may also stop into our office or call us for assistance.
