The Farm Service Agency has announced that Nemaha, Johnson, and Pawnee are three of 28 Nebraska counties designated as contiguous natural disaster areas due to severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding conditions occurring May 6th to June 17th of this year.
The designation authorizes Emergency Loans for eligible producers.
Emergency Loan applications are available for qualifying physical or production losses caused by these disaster conditions. Physical losses include structures, equipment and livestock while production losses include crops. These loans do require security and the ability to repay the loan. The deadline for submitting applications is February 25, 2016. For additional details contact the Nemaha FSA office at 402-274-4987.
In addition to the Emergency Loan Program, the FSA has other loan programs and disaster assistance programs which can be considered in assisting farmers to recover from their losses. Contact your local FSA Service Center or access additional information about Farm Loan and FSA Disaster Assistance programs at www.fsa.usda.gov.
