Clarke Seeks Drought Disaster Designation for County
Clarke County seeks drought disaster status as farmers face dry conditions. The ASCS Disaster Committee backed the request and the Board of Supervisors approved it, sending the proposal to Richmond for the governor to forward to the U.S. Agriculture Department. If approved, diverted acreage could graze, hay and feed imports could be cheaper, and grain stored could be released for feeding. Frederick County has begun steps on a similar plan.
