Campbell County supervisors today declared their county an agricultural disaster area, and have passed that along to the governor's office.

Most of that loss has been in the hay and pasture fields, which have dried up in the prolonged heat.
Farmers have been using LAST year's hay crop to feed their cattle.
A federal disaster declaration would make the area eligible for low- interest emergency loans.
