<strong>Background </strong></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Many of our fellow Texans are in need of a helping hand. Texas Agriculture farmers, rancher, producers and agribusiness owners are rebuilding and working towards picking up the
pieces after devastating natural disasters. As these disasters continue to impact Texas farmers and ranchers, the need for donations continues. </div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia;"><br>
</span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Fund </strong>
</div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The STAR Fund (State of Texas Agriculture Relief Fund) was created solely with monetary donations from private
individuals and entities to fund disaster recovery efforts. STAR Fund money may be used to assist farmers, ranchers and agribusiness owners in rebuilding fences, restoring operations and paying for other
agricultural disaster relief. If you’d like to help folks impacted by the wildfire, floods or tornadoes, consider making a donation to the STAR Fund. The Program is designed to provide relief to Texas
agricultural entities adversely impacted by natural disasters. Drought is not an eligible natural disaster under the STAR fund. Please refer to your local Farm Service Agency for drought
assistance.</span><br>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br>
</span>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Assistance</strong>
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 11px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">We are Texans, and when disaster strikes, we rise up to help our neighbors. The STAR Fund is one way to do that. TDA is offering a cost share
(50% of eligible expense) to qualified agricultural producers not to exceed $4,000 per applicant. Example: A producer would need to submit documentation for $2,000 of eligible expenses to receive
$1,000 in reimbursement. STAR Fund money may be used to assist in rebuilding fences, restoring operations and paying for other agricultural disaster relief costs needed to rebuild their agricultural
operations. If the applicant's county is included in the Texas Governor’s declaration of disaster, they have 90 days from the date of his proclamation to turn in an application.<br>
<br> “Every day, we depend on farmers and ranchers to provide our families with the healthy food and warm clothes that sustains our lives, and now is the time for Texas producers to lean on us,”
Commissioner Miller said. “This is not a hand out, rather it’s a helping hand. I hope people will take advantage of these funds if you need them.”<br>
<br> Funds are not intended to compensate individuals or businesses for losses incurred, but to assist agriculture producers in cost-sharing some of the unexpected expenses associated with the repair or
replacement of items necessary for their agricultural operation. See the application for more information. Verification of the damage caused by the disaster is required prior to TDA disbursing funds.
Please include any pictures, certifications or other documentation of the damage.</span>

</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">An eligible entity is an agriculture business/operation/ranch/farm located in a county declared a disaster by
the Texas Governor. Applicants should submit documentation for agricultural related expenses not paid for by insurance or other governmental sources for costs directly related to rebuild from the natural
disaster. Applicant must demonstrate that expenses incurred were related to agriculture production and directly caused by the disaster. If an entity/business/operation/ranch/farm is owned by more than one
person, only one application may be submitted. An entity/business/operation/ranch/farm is eligible for only one single award every 24 months, regardless of the number of owners. </span><br>

STAR Fund - Helping Texas Farmers and Ranchers Recover from Disaster
To be added to notification list, sign up to receive email notifications
by clicking here.
Background
Many of our fellow Texans are in need of a helping hand. Texas Agriculture
farmers, rancher, producers and agribusiness owners are rebuilding and working
towards picking up the pieces after devastating natural disasters. As these
disasters continue to impact Texas farmers and ranchers, the need for donations
continues.
The Fund
The STAR Fund (State of Texas Agriculture Relief Fund) was created solely with
monetary donations from private individuals and entities to fund disaster
recovery efforts. STAR Fund money may be used to assist farmers, ranchers and
agribusiness owners in rebuilding fences, restoring operations and paying for
other agricultural disaster relief. If you’d like to help folks impacted by the
wildfire, floods or tornadoes, consider making a donation to the STAR Fund. The
Program is designed to provide relief to Texas agricultural entities adversely
impacted by natural disasters. Drought is not an eligible natural disaster under
the STAR fund. Please refer to your local Farm Service Agency for drought
assistance.
Assistance
We are Texans, and when disaster strikes, we rise up to help our neighbors. The
STAR Fund is one way to do that. TDA is offering a cost share (50% of eligible
expense) to qualified agricultural producers not to exceed $4,000 per applicant.
Example: A producer would need to submit documentation for $2,000 of eligible
expenses to receive $1,000 in reimbursement. STAR Fund money may be used to
assist in rebuilding fences, restoring operations and paying for other
agricultural disaster relief costs needed to rebuild their agricultural
operations. If the applicant's county is included in the Texas Governor’s
declaration of disaster, they have 90 days from the date of his proclamation to
turn in an application.
“Every day, we depend on farmers and ranchers to provide our families with the
healthy food and warm clothes that sustains our lives, and now is the time for
Texas producers to lean on us,” Commissioner Miller said. “This is not a hand
out, rather it’s a helping hand. I hope people will take advantage of these
funds if you need them.”
Funds are not intended to compensate individuals or businesses for losses
incurred, but to assist agriculture producers in cost-sharing some of the
unexpected expenses associated with the repair or replacement of items necessary
for their agricultural operation. See the application for more
information. Verification of the damage caused by the disaster is required prior
to TDA disbursing funds. Please include any pictures, certifications or other
documentation of the damage.
Eligibility
An eligible entity is an agriculture business/operation/ranch/farm located in a
county declared a disaster by the Texas Governor. Applicants should submit
documentation for agricultural related expenses not paid for by insurance or
other governmental sources for costs directly related to rebuild from the
natural disaster. Applicant must demonstrate that expenses incurred were related
to agriculture production and directly caused by the disaster. If an
entity/business/operation/ranch/farm is owned by more than one person, only one
application may be submitted. An entity/business/operation/ranch/farm is
eligible for only one single award every 24 months, regardless of the number of
owners.
Agriculture business means - a business that is or proposes to be engaged in
producing, processing, marketing, or exporting an agricultural product.
For-Profit/Commercial Production and Non-profit entities are eligible. Backyard
gardens and hobby farms are not eligible.
Agricultural product means - an agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, or
vegetable product, bees, honey, fish or other seafood, planting seed, livestock,
a livestock product, a forestry product, poultry, or a poultry product. Person
means one property/entity/owner.
