Denise M. Lickteig, Farm Loan Manager for the Nemaha County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), announced that family farmers in three Nebraska counties are eligible to apply for low interest emergency loans due to physical and production losses caused by excessive rainfall and flooding conditions. Those counties are:
Nemaha, Richardson and Otoe
These Nebraska counties became eligible for this assistance because they are contiguous to one or more of the Missouri counties that were designated as primary affected counties on August 26, 2015 by the Secretary of Agriculture.
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 April 26, 2016. For additional details contact the Nemaha County FSA office at (402) 274-4987.
In addition to the Emergency (EM) Loan Program, FSA has other loan programs and disaster assistance programs which can be considered in assisting farmers to recover from their losses. Please contact your local FSA Service Center or access additional information about FSA Disaster Assistance and Farm Loan programs at www.fsa.usda.gov.
