Heineman requests ag disaster for 9 Nebraska counties
Published Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 12:32 PM
“This request reflects the impact of major storms that brought heavy rain in a short period of time, often with damaging winds and hail,” Gov. Heineman said. “While moisture during the growing season is a good thing, these areas experienced too much rain.”
The request includes Box Butte, Cheyenne and Kimball Counties in western Nebraska; Boone, Boyd, Garfield, and Holt Counties in the north central part of the state; Dawson County in central Nebraska; and Johnson County in southeast Nebraska.
According to reports compiled by U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency offices, a range of crops in these counties were impacted including alfalfa, wheat, soybeans, sunflowers, millet, sorghum, sugar beets, pinto and kidney beans, and oats.
Secretarial Natural Disaster Designations are necessary to access various USDA disaster assistance programs, including low-interest loans and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program, or SURE.
