USDA
Designates 26 Counties in Florida as Primary Natural Disaster
Areas
On
Jan. 26, 2011 the U.S. Department of Agriculture designated
26 counties in Florida, including Clay
County, as primary natural disaster areas due to losses caused
by frost and freezes that occurred Nov. 5 Dec. 17, 2010.
All 26 counties were designated natural disaster areas Jan.
25, 2011, making all qualified farm
operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest
emergency (EM) loans from USDAs Farm
Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are
met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight
months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans
to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA
will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking
into account the extent of losses, security
available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs,
in addition to the EM loan program, to
help eligible farmers recover from adversity.
USDA also has made other programs available to assist farmers
and ranchers, including the
Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), which was
approved as part of the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; the Emergency Conservation
Program; Federal Crop Insurance;
and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested
farmers may contact their local USDA
Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements
and application procedures for these
and other programs. Additional information is also available
online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.
FSA news releases are available on FSA's Web site at http://www.fsa.usda.gov
via the "News and
Events" link.
