TAA Update for Shrimp and Catfish

The development teams for both Shrimp and Catfish met in Atlanta last week to discuss curriculum topics, delivery methods for educational materials, and application requirements issues.  Our team leaders have been identified and the framework for the delivery of the program is being sketched out quickly.

The deadline for producers to apply to FSA for benefits and training is September 23rd.  Shortly after this deadline, we will be posting training topics and dates as well as alternative training options such as online training.

Applications (form FSA 229-1) are available on the FAS Web site at: http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/taa/taaforms.asp. All TAA for Farmers Federal Register notices can be found on the FAS Web site at: http://www.fas.usda.gov/info/fr/notices.asp.

Another great source of information about the program is http://taaforfarmers.org/

Stay tuned...
