Arkansas Delegation Applauds USDA Disaster Declaration for Counties Impacted by Storms

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton—along with Congressmen Rick Crawford, French Hill, Steve Womack and Bruce Westerman—applauded U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s decision to issue a Secretarial Disaster Designation<https://www.boozman.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/e/3/e3c48c2f-4971-46ef-ae2d-29d1cccf8a58/27A8CAFFC4B5723C8E5320605C698858.usda-disaster.pdf> covering 18 Arkansas counties impacted by flooding, high winds, hail, tornadoes and other storm damage: Arkansas, Benton, Bradley, Calhoun, Chicot, Desha, Drew, Jefferson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Lonoke, Monroe, Phillips, Pope, Prairie, Pulaski, White and Yell.

“This disaster designation is a critical step to helping Arkansas agricultural producers recover from devastating losses as a result of natural disasters. We are pleased Secretary Vilsack recognizes the need to provide this assistance to our farmers,” members said.

Last month, the congressional delegation wrote a letter<https://www.boozman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=E57C88BD-C299-445F-9DB2-ED89CBF8202E> to Secretary Vilsack in support of Governor Asa Hutchinson’s request for a Secretarial Disaster Designation.
