As of November 7, seventeen counties in Virginia have received USDA Drought Disaster Designation. This number will probably grow and does not include contiguous counties. The footprint of this disaster in Virginia is significant, and there are opportunities for agriculture producers that have been impacted. Learn about and take advantage of federal government programs that assist farmers and the implications of this disaster designation.
