Siskiyou, Modoc, Lake and Klamath counties have been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture for the emergency loans through the Farm Service Agency for different emergency designations.

Lake County received the emergency designation as the primary area where damages and losses occurred due to severe winter storms, which happened between Dec. 26, 2003 and Jan. 14, 2004. As contiguous counties Klamath and Modoc counties are also eligible for the loans.

Klamath County is a primary emergency designation for statewide droughts beginning in January 2004. The counties were declared in an emergency status on Feb. 19. Siskiyou and Modoc counties are contiguous and also eligible for the loans.

Farmers have eight months from designation date to apply for the loans to help cover part of their actual losses.

Applicants must complete a certification of disaster losses that reflects the exact date of the designated disaster and how damage and losses were caused. Crop insurance field reports may be a source for documenting losses related to the storms.
