SHARE UTAH FARMS ELIGIBLE FOR AID

Utah, Juab and Tooele counties have been designated agricultural disaster areas.

Under the designation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers who lost crops due to long-term drought or the April 28-May 5 killing frost can apply for Farmers Home Administration emergency loan assistance.From Jan. 1 through Sept. 30 of this year, all 29 Utah counties had been covered by a similar natural disaster declaration because of the drought, now in its fourth year. That declaration was terminated at the end of the federal government's 1990 fiscal year, on Sept. 30.
