Drought Assistance Sought for Farmers in Pittsburgh Area
2002
Overview
U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Johnstown, sent a letter to [Ann M. Veneman] this week, asking her to issue a drought disaster declaration for the 2002 crop season for both counties as well as for Delaware County in Eastern Pennsylvania. The declaration would make livestock producers in those counties eligible for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Livestock Compensation Program, which will help farmers replace feed crops lost to drought. Fayette, Greene and Delaware counties met that loss threshold this year, and hundreds of farmers in those counties had planned to apply for the funds by yesterday's deadline. But they could not do so because paperwork submitted in August by local Farm Service Agency officials was later disqualified because it contained numerical errors that made it appear that the counties did not meet the loss threshold.
