USDA Totals 139 Texas Counties Disaster Areas During 2009 Drought/Wildfires
By John Askins



The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated 69 Texas counties as primary natural disaster areas because of losses caused by drought, above-normal temperatures and associated wildfires that occurred during 2009.

These are in addition to 70 counties previously designated as primary natural disaster areas earlier this year for the same reason.

A full list of the counties is available on the USDA's website.

Farm operators in the designated areas are eligible for low-interest emergency loans from the USDA's Farm Service Agency provided they meet eligibility requirements. Farmers have eight months from Nov. 2 to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses.
