Perry County Seeks Drought Disaster Declaration
Perry County applied to the U S Department of Agriculture to declare a drought disaster area through the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Farm Adviser Charles Howell said the aim is to free diverted acres for pastures as pastures have burned and crops suffered. The drought strip reaches Northern Jackson County in the Vergennes area and approval could allow farmers to buy grain at reduced prices from the Commodity Credit Corp. The process is expected to take about three weeks. Perry County was a disaster area three years ago.
