USDA: Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Extends Emergency
Grazing to Assist Ranchers Impacted by Drought
“The Secretary today also designated 147 additional counties
in 14 states as natural disaster areas-128 counties in 10 states due to
drought. In the past seven weeks, USDA has designated 1,892 unduplicated
counties in 38 states as disaster areas-1,820 due to drought-while USDA
officials have fanned out to more than a dozen drought-affected states as part
of a total U.S. government effort to offer support and assistance to those in
need.”
“Small, nonfarm businesses in 23 Montana counties and
neighboring counties in Idaho and Wyoming are now eligible to apply for low
interest federal disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration
(SBA).”
