| 42 ND Counties Are Disasters |
| 11/27/2009 |
| Gov. John Hoeven says federal Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has approved a disaster declaration covering weather-related crop damage in 42 North Dakota counties. Hoeven made the request earlier because of severe weather including spring flooding. The 24 primary disaster counties are dams, Benson, Bottineau, Burke, Cavalier, Dickey, Divide, Eddy, Grand Forks, Griggs, LaMoure, McHenry, Nelson, Pembina, Pierce, Ramsey, Ransom, Richland, Rolette, Sargent, Steele, Towner, Traill and Walsh. Under federal law, an additional 18 contiguous counties also are eligible for assistance. They are Barnes, Bowman, Cass, Foster, Grant, Hettinger, Logan, McIntosh, McLean, Mountrail, Renville, Sheridan, Sioux, Slope, Stutsman, Ward, Wells and Williams. The counties of Bowman, Grant, Oliver and Slope did not qualify for the secretarial disaster declaration, but ranchers in those counties might be eligible for aid under USDA`s Livestock Indemnity Program. |
