Three more Nevada counties included in disaster declaration
NEVADA (KOLO) – Three more Nevada counties have been included in a disaster declaration over drought conditions.
Elko, Lincoln, and White Pine Counties have now been added to the list of counties in the state of Nevada the USDA says are experiencing extreme drought.
Their inclusion in the list allows the Farm Service Agency to extend emergency credit to producers through emergency loans.
The loans can be used to replace essential items, reorganize farming operations and more.
The deadline to apply for such credit is Dec. 10.
Extreme drought has previously been declared in Clark, Esmeralda and Nye Counties in Nevada as well as for Mono County and Inyo County in California.
