There are a lot of questions surrounding pesticide and fertilizer recertification for 2021. As you all know, deadlines for the recertification continue receiving extensions and the guidelines for in-person meetings keep changing. These circumstances make planning, and hopefully getting to hold, an in-person recertification meeting very challenging. A local, multi-county team is working on how we can best work within the guidelines that we have been given while also serving and meeting the needs of our agricultural clients.

The USDA Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was established to fill the gap when children lose access to meals when schools are closed. Most often this occurs during summer vacation. However, during school closures related to the pandemic, meals are also being made available. You have the opportunity to supplement the food you have at home with meals and snacks for your children from local schools and community organizations. In an effort to maintain social distancing, USDA has made temporary changes that allow parents or guardians to pick up meals and take them home for their children.
