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 USDA’s 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.
