More Ag Help Mulledv

In an appeal for federal relief from the rain and flooding on behalf of farmers and farm related businesses, Congressman, Bob Latta has sent letters for assistance to the Department of Agriculture. The letter requests an approval of an agriculture disaster declaration, should the agency receive a request for one from the state of Ohio. Gov. DeWine formally requested a USDA Secretarial Disaster Designation for Ohio on June 14. As part of that request to the federal government, he stated 50% of Ohio’s corn crop and 32% of the soybean crop had been planted by June 10.
