Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture designated Sierra County a primary natural disaster area following another devastating growing season.\n\t\u201cThe ongoing drought will continue to impose economic hardship on our farmers and families this year in New Mexico,\u201d Pearce said. \u201cYesterday\u2019s federal disaster declaration will help farmers in Sierra County and surrounding counties to apply for assistance from the Farm Service Agency. I will continue to press for support for our agriculture industry and farmers, as they struggle through another tough year of drought.\u201d\n\tYesterday\u2019s designation allows farm operators in Sierra County and seven neighboring counties (Catron, Dona Ana, Grant, Lincoln, Luna, Otero and Socorro) to be considered for certain assistance from the Farm Service Agency, if eligibility requirements are met.
