Governor Jan Brewer has announced that the US Department of Agriculture has granted her request for a Secretarial disaster designation. This designation will allow landowners in Gila, Pinal, Coconino, Maricopa, Pima and Yavapai counties affected by ongoing drought to apply for federal financial assistance.
Eligible farmers have eight months to apply for low interest emergency loans from the Farm Service Agency and Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments program.
