Sign up now for Flood Recovery Field Day in East Tennessee

Jul 23, 2025


Damages from Hurricane Helene
After Hurricane Helene ravaged East Tennessee, several groups — including the Co-op and the Tennessee Farmers Cooperative Foundation — will sponsor a day for farmers to connect about recovery efforts a year later.

The event will happen Wednesday, Aug. 20, where the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture will host workshops and presentations on farmland recovery, recovery project tours, vegetable and crop production, large-scale demonstrations on drone seeding and updates from partner agencies on recovery efforts.

Registration is open now for the event, which will happen at 269 Bent Road in Limestone.

On-site registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, with the program starting at 9 a.m.

A sponsored lunch will be provided. This event is open to the public and is free to attend. Pre-registration is encouraged for planning purposes but not required. To register go online to tiny.utk.edu/Flood.

For more details on UTIA’s flood recovery efforts, please reach out to your local UT/TSU Extension office. To sponsor or attend event as a vendor, please contact David McIntosh at utbeef@tennessee.edu.
