County seeks disaster area status for drought damaged farms
Terry County Commissioners filed for disaster area designation with the Governor. Bill Chance presented an agriculture disaster report showing 335000 acres affected and 31 percent to 84 percent crop losses across cotton and milo. If approved, local farmers may apply for 1977 disaster loans, with loan eligibility tied to four years of production records and inability to secure other loans.
