MDA offers help to farmers with grain storage shortages

Many lost storage facilities in summer storms

St. Paul — The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is linking up farmers who lost storage facilities due to summer storms with those who may have storage space available. The MDA has established a free online service where farmers needing storage can find a listing of farmers offering storage bins, buildings or space. MDA officials encourage farmers with available storage to submit their listings to benefit those who need help now and during harvest.



Farmers seeking storage or those who have storage to offer should call (877) 898-6326 (Minnesota Farmer Assistance Network) to provide their information. The online service is available at www.mda.state.mn.us/mfan.



The MDA does not have responsibility for any agreements and contracts subsequently negotiated by individual farmers and property owners.



This listing is a temporary service of the MDA to assist farmers after a natural disaster.
