More Central Valley farmers, as well as some
elsewhere in the state, will be eligible for aid to offset losses caused by the
July heat storm, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says. The six California counties added to
the list of primary natural disaster areas are Amador, Contra Costa, San
Benito, San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Yuba. All qualified farm operators
in the designated areas are now eligible for low-interest emergency loans from
USDA's Farm Service Agency, provided eligibility requirements are met.
