NY Farmers Get USDA Disaster Aid | Buffalo News

New York farmers in 32 counties are getting crucial federal relief after a brutal spring of extreme weather wiped out crops worth over $30 million—apples, strawberries, stone fruits, and grapes hardest hit. Governor Hochul’s USDA disaster designation unlocks low-interest emergency loans to help growers recover, with applications due in eight months. Severe frosts, hail, high winds, and flooding in April and May left many facing total crop losses. Now’s the time to act: contact your local FSA office to apply before the deadline. This aid is vital to keep New York’s agriculture resilient and thriving. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
