Vermont Delegation Urges USDA Secretary to Approve Vermont Disaster Designation, Streamline Flood Recovery Funds for Vermont Farmers
Letter
Issues: Agriculture and Food
"It is imperative that the Federal government, working in conjunction with the state, mobilize as many resources as possible to quickly bring aid to Vermont's agricultural sector," the letter reads. "We are heartened that on July 14th, President Biden approved a major disaster declaration for all counties in Vermont, with an additional authorization of individual assistance for six counties. However, Vermont will need additional, ongoing support from USDA. We therefore ask that you quickly approve Governor Scott's request for a Secretarial Disaster Designation, and any additional requests for support forthcoming from the state."
