Virginia counties drought disaster status expands
President Carter designated eight more Virginia counties as drought disaster areas while declaring numerous others ineligible due to insufficient damages. The move lifts eligible counties to 56 for livestock feed purchase aid, with Gov. Mills Godwin seeking broader federal extension beyond December 1 to aid farmers through winter. A local water emergency was also declared in Warrenton Fauquier County to enable possible conservation measures.
