Agricultural operations in Virginia have been significantly impacted by the recent drought. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has technical and financial assistance available to help farmers and livestock producers recover. “We know current drought conditions are adversely impacting crops, land, water supplies and livestock, creating financial and emotional strain for the farmers and ranchers we serve,” said Richard Fordyce, Farm Production and Conservation Under Secretary. “I encourage producers to stay in close contact with their local USDA Service Center to report losses and damages and learn more about the many program options we have available to assist them in building drought resiliency and navigating drought recovery.” For complete details on USDA disaster assistance available to Virginia agricultural producers impacted by drought, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/news/06-08-2026/usda-offers-disaster-assistance-agricultural-producers-virginia....
