USDA issues disaster designation for all Mississippi counties
SUMMARY: All counties in Mississippi have been designated as USDA disaster areas due to the 2023 drought, making farmers eligible for Farm Service Agency Loan Assistance. This emergency loan can be used to offset losses from the previous year's drought, such as purchasing hay or equipment. Despite the good growing season for ryegrass, many farmers have depleted their hay reserves. Farmers in Mississippi have an eight-month window to apply for the loan. This assistance aims to help farmers recover from the drought and ensure adequate resources for the upcoming year.
