Farm disaster relief available20 September 2007 — On September 12, 2007, Secretary Johanns declared a natural disaster in the State of North Carolina based on damages and losses caused by drought and high temperatures that occurred from January 1, 2007 and continuing. As a result of this natural disaster, 85 North Carolina counties were declared eligible for Federal disaster assistance, including Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency (EM) loans for eligible family farmers. Those primary disaster counties include Johnston and Wayne counties. Debbie Houston, Loan Officer, said that effective September 12, 2007, farmers in Wayne County may apply for EM loans for physical and production losses. May 12, 2008 is the deadline for filing an application. The local office is located at 209 Spruce Street, Goldsboro, and is open from 8–5. Houston said that any farmer who suffered a production or physical loss should contact her office for additional information. |
