The USDA is making $20 million available to help farmers in three states rebuild grain storage facilities that were devastated by natural disasters.
Steve Dick, State Executive Director of South Dakota’s Farm Service Agency, says derechos swept through his state and Minnesota earlier this year, while 11 counties in Kentucky were devastated by tornadoes last December.
“It would help them rebuild their facilities on the farm, or actually look at adding some facilities to alleviate some of this pressure that’s going to be at the commercial facilities,” Dick said.
