  STAKEHOLDER NOTIFICATION
USDA Designates Nine Idaho Counties as Primary Natural Disaster Areas
Eight contiguous Counties in Idaho are eligible for assistance
This Secretarial natural disaster designation allows the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters through emergency loans. Emergency loans can be used to meet various recovery needs including the replacement of essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganization of a farming operation, or to refinance certain debts.
