USDA Delivers Immediate Disaster Assistance

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has announced $340.6 million in USDA disaster assistance to deliver relief to farmers, ranchers, and rural communities impacted by natural disasters that have caused devastation across the country.  Secretary Rollins is delivering critical aid through the USDA Disaster Assistance Fund to provide immediate relief to communities that have waited too long for the assistance they need.

“Our heart goes out to the families across our great country who have lost loved ones, homes, businesses, and livelihoods,” Rollins said. “USDA is ensuring we are doing everything we can to support state and local efforts to rebuild these communities to be even stronger than before.” 

The secretary made the announcement in North Dakota, where USDA is delivering more than $5 million to help rebuild electric infrastructure following damage from severe storms and wildfires.  

The Disaster Assistance Fund provides relief directly to rural families who need recovery help.
