Show Farmers urged to report loss Utah farmers who suffered damage to crops or property as a result of recent flooding are being asked to report all losses in writing to their local County Extension Agent. According to Stephen Gillmore, Commissioner, "Farmers who have not reported flood damage claims to the state should do so immediately since they may qualify for federal disaster relief." State and county emergency boards will then report the damage assessment to Governor Scott Matheson for his review to determine deter-mine if a request for federal disaster relief is needed. "If the state receives a disaster declaration from the federal government," Gillmor said, "farmers who have documented losses may then become eligible for loan monies." |
