USDA designates Texas counties primary natural disaster areas

Source: USDA FSA | March 28, 2019

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has designated 13 Texas counties as primary natural disaster areas. Producers in Anderson, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Haskell, Houston, Leon, Madison, Sutton, Walker, Washington and Young who suffered losses caused by excessive moisture and flooding that occurred from Sept. 3, 2018, through Jan. 28, 2019, may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans.

This natural disaster area designation allows FSA to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters. Emergency loans can be used to meet various recovery needs including the replacement of essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganization of a farming operation or the refinance of certain debts.

Producers in the contiguous Texas counties of Angelina, Archer, Baylor, Cherokee, Colorado, Crockett, Edwards, Fayette, Fort Bend, Freestone, Henderson, Jack, Jones, Kimble, King, Knox, Lee, Limestone, Menard, Milam, Montgomery, Palo Pinto, Robertson, San Jacinto, Schleicher, Shackelford, Stephens, Stonewall, Throckmorton, Trinity, Val Verde, Waller and Wharton are also eligible to apply for emergency loans.

The deadline to apply for these emergency loans is Nov. 12, 2019.

FSA will review the loans based on the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.

FSA has a variety of additional programs to help farmers recover from the impacts of this disaster. FSA programs that do not require a disaster declaration include: Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program; Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Operating and Farm Ownership Loans; and the Tree Assistance Program.

Farmers may contact their local USDA service center for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at https://www.farmers.gov/recover.
