Drought Relief Requests Grow as Harsh Conditions Persist
Harrisburg reports drought damages may push additional Pennsylvania counties into emergency disaster status. Agriculture Secretary Nenning said the state collaborates with the U S Agriculture Disaster Committee to expand the 22 counties already certified. Designation would allow hay and grazing on set aside acreage and qualify farmers for special loans from the Farmers Home Administration.
