U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman has expressed his support following the announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding disaster assistance applications for farmers and ranchers affected by weather-related losses in 2023 and 2024.
“Farmers and ranchers in Arkansas and across the country have faced relentless challenges in recent years including severe weather and natural disasters. This assistance is a critical step to help producers recover and continue feeding and fueling the world," said Boozman.
He emphasized the resilience of American producers but acknowledged the devastating impact of recent natural disasters on farm families. "This assistance will go a long way in ensuring our agriculture industry remains strong," he added.
Boozman also expressed gratitude towards USDA's efforts to distribute resources efficiently. The USDA will start accepting applications on Thursday, July 10 at local FSA offices, with prefilled applications being mailed directly to producers.
For more information on supplemental disaster assistance secured by Chairman Boozman, further details are available through provided channels.
