Tuesday, April 28, 2009 Bingaman: Union County Farmers and Ranchers Eligible for Disaster Aid WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that Union County has been declared eligible for disaster assistance due to its proximity to Texas counties, which were declared disaster areas due to continuing drought. As a result of the declaration, farmers and ranchers in Union County are now eligible to be considered for low-interest emergency loans from the Farm Service Agency, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). “These loans will help farmers and ranchers who have been affected by drought get back on their feet,” Bingaman said. For more information or to determine eligibility for a low interest loan contact the local USDA Farm Service Center. UNION COUNTY FARM SERVICE AGENCY 20 N 2ND ST Search: Agriculture, Union county |
