The Department of Agriculture has added features to the website Farmers.gov to help producers prepare for and recover from natural disasters. The site has updated tools and information to help producers identify the right programs and make decisions for their operations, according to USDA. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced the changes Tuesday. New additions to the site include a portal for secure business transactions and a disaster assistance discovery tool. The discovery tool walks producers through five questions to help them identify personalized results of what USDA disaster assistance programs meet their needs. The portal is the first edition of a secure dashboard for producers to manage program applications and other USDA documents. USDA’s vision for the website is to provide producers with “online self-service applications, educational materials, engagement opportunities and business tools,” according to Secretary Perdue.
