I had a great phone conversation with a Department of Ag agent today. She was concerned that we had not submitted our renewal application for our equine market license. At the time, the cost of renewal was close to $300. That was $300 that we did not have. I called the Dept. of Agriculture and explained to the agent that we did not have the money.
Today we have learned that we will receive a gift from IHHA (thank you so much, IHHA board). Unfortunately, our waiting to renew our equine market license is going to result in almost doubling our fees, since we now have late fees and surcharges. I understand that now we will owe approximately $500. This license is necessary for ASAP to operate. I am so grateful to the agent to have phoned out of concern about the situation, and plan to get the paperwork out to them this week. We are praying for support of any kind to meet the licensure requirements in the amount mandated. Wish us luck!
