Funds Available After November Storms

Published Wednesday, February 11, 1998 in the Nevada County Picayune

Administrator Keith Kelly has named Hempstead County as eligible for Farm Service Agency emergency farm loans due to damages and losses by a tornado and hail storm that occurred on Nov-ember 5, 1997.

Hempstead County was named as the primary disaster area. Also eligible, because they are contiguous to the primary county are Nevada, Howard, Lafayette, Little River, Miller, Pike and Sevier counties.

Farmers in the disaster areas have until July 24 to apply for the loans to help cover part of their actual losses.

To be eligible, producers must have suffered severe physical losses, be able to repay the loan and any other loans, be unable to obtain credit elsewhere, and have adequate security.

Additional information regarding eligibility and other loan re-quirements may be obtained by contacting you local FSA county office.
