VA. FARMERS CAN APPLY FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF

President Clinton has designated Virginia as eligible for Farmers Home Administration emergency assistance as a result of the March 13-17 snowstorm.

Farmers have until November 1993 to apply for loans to help cover part of their losses.

To be eligible, farmers must have suffered production or physical losses. Production losses must amount to 30 percent of normal production.

Farmers may contact their local FmHA offices for information.
