DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’ request for USDA disaster assistance for farmers impacted by severe weather on April 26 has been approved.
Gov. Reynolds on Friday said U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told her Iowa meets the requirements for an FSA Administrator’s Physical Loss Notification (APLN).
That will open federal emergency loan assistance for impacted Iowa farmers in the following counties: Adair, Adams, Audubon, Boone, Carroll, Cass, Clarke, Crawford, Dallas, Decatur, Fremont, Harrison, Jasper, Lucas, Madison, Marion, Mills, Monona, Montgomery, Page, Polk, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Shelby, Story, Taylor, Union, Warren, and Wayne.
“I want to thank Secretary Vilsack for approving this much-needed federal disaster assistance for Iowa’s farmers whose property was damaged due to severe weather last month,” said Governor Reynolds. “This opens up federal loans and other emergency assistance programs that will help our farmers recover from their losses.”
