This assistance includes <br /> FSA emergency loans. Farmers in eligible counties have 8 months from the date of a Secretarial <br /> disaster declaration to apply for emergency loans. FSA considers each emergency loan <br /> application on its own merits,taking into account the extent of production losses on the farm, <br /> and the security and repayment ability of the operator. <br /> Local FSA offices can provide affected farmers with further information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tho Oilsack <br /> Seer: <br />
