The above April 20 APHIS list cites the reported farm H5N2 outbreaks since March 4. However, a newly banned county indicate at least one new farm in Sac County, Iowa (see H5N2 map) was confirmed on April 21.
This steady increase is taxing governemnt agencies. Wisconsin is calling out the National Guard to help with the three counties confimed in Wisconsin. Similar state assistance may be required as wild birds migrate through the Midwest.
