Indiana Wildlife Refuge Affected by Government Shutdown

Indiana Wildlife Refuge Affected by Government Shutdown

There are more than 550 wildlife refuges in the United States and all are affected by the partial government shutdown. There are three in Indiana and workers can’t complete their duties to upkeep the facilities.

Right now, people can still access the grounds but all management offices are closed since the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is not able to staff its properties.

Volunteers from the area are now stepping in to help check on restrooms and other facilities on the property to make sure no one is damaging the park.

Manager Heath Hamilton says, “Tree planting, restoring native prairie habitat, restoring wetlands, paying our contractors to do those types of things are all on hold.”

The property is more than 10,000 acres and trail and parking lot maintenance is not able to be completed. Even volunteers can’t continue their duties.

“We rely on volunteers and interns to make our operation go here at the refuge, and as of right now, the volunteers can’t come in and do their work and the interns can’t come in and do their work so they’re on hold,” says Hamilton.

The hold is stopping habitat restoration, posting boundary signs, and biological programs. Those who hunt, fish and hike at the refuge must adventure through on their own.

“People are out there at their own risk right now with maybe not all the information that they might need to safely navigate the properties,” says Hamilton.

USDA to Reopen FSA Offices for Limited Services During Government Shutdown

0

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today announced that many Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices will reopen temporarily in the coming days to perform certain limited services for farmers and ranchers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recalled about 2,500 FSA employees to open offices on Thursday, January 17 and Friday, January 18, in addition to Tuesday, January 22, during normal business hours. The offices will be closed for the federal Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday on Monday, January 21.

In almost half of FSA locations, FSA staff will be available to assist agricultural producers with existing farm loans and to ensure the agency provides 1099 tax documents to borrowers by the Internal Revenue Service’s deadline.

“Until Congress sends President Trump an appropriations bill in the form that he will sign, we are doing our best to minimize the impact of the partial federal funding lapse on America’s agricultural producers,” Perdue said.  “We are bringing back part of our FSA team to help producers with existing farm loans.  Meanwhile, we continue to examine our legal authorities to ensure we are providing services to our customers to the greatest extent possible during the shutdown.”

Staff members will be available at certain FSA offices to help producers with specific services, including:

  • Processing payments made on or before December 31, 2018.
  • Continuing expiring financing statements.
  • Opening mail to identify priority items.

Additionally, as an intermittent incidental duty, staff may release proceeds from the sale of loan security by signing checks jointly payable to FSA that are brought to the county office by producers.

Information on the locations of FSA offices to be open during this three-day window will be posted:

While staff are available in person during this three-day window, most available services can be handled over the phone. Producers can begin contacting staff on January 17 here.

Additionally, farmers who have loan deadlines during the lapse in funding do not need to make payments until the government shutdown ends.

Other FSA Programs and Services

Reopened FSA offices will only be able to provide the specifically identified services while open during this limited time. Services that will not be available include, but are not limited to:

  • New direct or facility loans.
  • New Farm loan guarantees.
  • New marketing assistance loans.
  • New applications for Market Facilitation Program (MFP).
  • Certification of 2018 production for MFP payments.
  • Dairy Margin Protection Program.
  • Disaster assistance programs, such as:
    • Livestock Indemnity Program.
    • Emergency Conservation Program.
    • Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program.
    • Livestock Forage Disaster Program.
    • Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish.

While January 15, 2019 had been the original deadline for producers to apply for MFP, farmers have been unable to apply since December 28, 2018, when FSA offices closed because of the lapse in federal funding.  Secretary Perdue has extended the MFP application deadline for a period of time equal to the number of business days FSA offices end up being closed, once the government shutdown ends. These announced days of limited staff availability during the shutdown will not constitute days open in calculating the extension. Producers who already applied for MFP and certified their 2018 production by December 28, 2018 should have already received their payments.
