Drought Drives Record Crop Disaster Filings in Cass County
In 1977 Cass County Nebraska farmers filed 1,296 crop disaster applications, dominated by wheat 738 and corn 522, far surpassing 1974's high. Gov Exon had already declared county a disaster area for 1976 and 1977, enabling low interest loans from the Farmers Home Administration. Otoe and Nemaha counties reported lower totals amid dry weather and winter kill, with 700 and 800 plus applications respectively.
