Bula farmers may be eligible for USDA help for spring
freeze
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that Erie County,
PA, is a primary natural disaster area due to losses caused by
freezing temperatures from March 27 through April 3, 2012.
Ashtabula County is a contiguous county affected by the freezing
temperatures and may be eligible for assistance from the Farm
Service Agency (FSA). Farmers in eligible counties have eight
months from the date of disaster declaration (6-12-12) to apply for
emergency loan assistance. FSA will consider each emergency loan
application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of
production losses, security available, and repayment ability.
For more information please contact the FSA for Ashtabula County by
calling 440-437-6330.
