USDA Designates Five Texas Counties Primary Natural Disaster Area

USDA has designated Camp, Franklin, Morris, Rains and Titus counties in Texas as natural disaster areas due to losses caused by excessive rain that occurred last October through March 2010. Farmers and ranchers in 11 counties in Texas also are eligible for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Producers have eight months from the date of declaration to apply for low interest loans to help cover parts of their losses. Learn more.
