Friends,
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced a disaster designation in Texas for a range of counties including: Sabine County, San Augustine County, and Shelby County.
This designation makes farm operators in primary counties and those counties contiguous to such primary counties eligible to be considered for Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans, provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have 8 months from the date of a Secretarial disaster declaration to apply for emergency loans.
Additional information on USDA’s disaster assistance program can be found at www.farmers.gov/recover. Your local FSA office can provide further information. To find your local service center, please click HERE.
As always, please don’t hesitate to call my office at (903) 561-6349.
With gratitude,
