Farmers in western Massachusetts affected by extreme weather events now have a permanent source for financial help.
Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) has announced its Emergency Farm Fund will be open year-round.
In the past, the fund had opened temporarily from time-to-time in response to weather events that widely impacted local agriculture.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Phil Korman, Executive Director of CISA.
