USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins has announced $340.6 million in disaster assistance to help farmers and rural communities affected by natural disasters. The American Soybean Association is pleased the funding has become available and applauds the administration for coming through on its promise to help those many farmers and others who have been in need following extraordinary circumstances.
Caleb Ragland, president of the American Soybean Association and soy farmer from Kentucky, said, “We appreciate the administration for seeing these devastating circumstances and coming to the aid of farmers and rural communities. When natural disasters strike, we have very little recourse to protect our livelihoods. This funding will help many people who are trying to rebuild their homes and businesses and hopefully restore some normalcy after enduring hurricanes, floods, fires and the outcomes that come with such disasters.”
ASA thanks the administration for its Rural Development Disaster Assistance package and what it means for those affected.
