Iowa to receive $12 million to repair flood-damaged conservation
structures
Posted: 21 Aug 2008 03:42 PM CDT
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will send more than $12 million to
Iowa farmers to help repair the damages caused by flooding earlier this
year.
A total of $87.5 million in Emergency Conservation Program funds will be
distributed between 34 states that were affected by natural disasters,
announced U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer Thursday. Iowa will
receive $12,208,500, the largest amount of the 34 states.
The funds will be distributed to help landowners repair soil and water
conservation structures, remove flood debris, and restore fences. Funding
will also be used to carry out water conservation measures in other
states that have suffered drought.
=93This funding will allow farmers and ranchers to repair the unusually
harsh damage to conservation efforts caused by the disaster conditions,
notably flooding and drought,=94 said Schafer in a news release. =93USDA has
worked shoulder to shoulder with producers when weather turns against
them, and we remain involved to help in the weeks and months of recovery
afterward.=94
A statement from the USDA explains that for land to be eligible for the
funds, the natural disaster must create new problems that if untreated
will impair and affect the land=92s productive capacity, among other
criteria.
USDA Farm Service Agency county committees will conduct on-site
inspections of damage to determine land eligibility.
