In an effort to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus in our community through social distancing measures, our office has adopted a modified staffing schedule as mandated and directed by the State of Emergency Declaration of the State of Tennessee, Montgomery County Mayor, Jim Durrett, and as advised operation by USDA Service Centers.

Accordingly, our offices are being staffed with a minimal staff, which may result in a slight delay in your receipt of a response to your email. Further, please be advised that the best way to communicate with us during this time is in fact E-mail.

**PLEASE CALL/EMAIL OUR OFFICE IN ORDER TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO SUBMIT NECESSARY PAPERWORK. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROCESS APPLICATIONS AND PROVIDE CONSERVATION PLANNING FOR ALL PROGRAMS.**

At any given time, some of our staff will be working remotely, so again there may be some delay in getting responses to all phone calls. Your patience and understanding while we work together to conduct business and protect persons during this period of time is greatly appreciated.
