As California enters the third year of its current drought, federal funds are available for agricultural businesses as well as non-farm small businesses that do business directly with farmers and ranchers.
Marin County officials offered a reminder Monday about the funds available in all 58 California counties, which were declared primary disaster areas in December by the U.S Department of Agriculture.
Farmers and ranchers interested in a disaster loan can apply on the USDA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/farm-loan-programs/index. Eligible businesses may apply for disaster loans through Dec. 8.
Small, non-farm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and most private nonprofits can apply for the loans by contacting the SBA at (800) 659-2955 or by email. Hearing impaired individuals may call (800) 877-8339.
Money is nice but getting water to them would be better.
I could use some money for drought relief… and it’s almost happy hour!
This is more useful to us than giving arms to foreign countries.
Don’t forget 10% for the big guy!
We elect representatives and allow agencies to supply us with goods and services we need to survive.
Restricting usage of any public service is abominable.
The government continues to fail the people who are rightfully their employers.
The declarations of disasters in the various countries of California are coming fast and furious. Strangely, there is no connection in voter’s minds with who they elected and all of these disasters. Shock headlines show reservoirs we depend on are only partially full, which of course would be way more than needed if the government had not encouraged mass immigration and expanded agri-business. I’m sure Newsom’s Plumpjack winery has enough water. Wonder how much of his product is exported to China.
Yes, you could say the California is a disaster!
Almost all result of Democrat politicians & officials.
Use it to build dams and desal plants.
+1 .. been saying that for a couple years… sent this to the media, various political members, etc… nooooooooo response… comes down to – why is there so much approved housing being built (in the tens of thousands) – if there is no water? .. including a recreational surfing park in the desert?!
There must be plenty of water! With all the housing being approved and Palm Springs building surfing parks in the desert! There must be plenty of water otherwise the developments wouldn’t be approved – right? Links to just a few of the tens of thousands being approved in Calif below.

Droughts are money-making schemes for the government. It’s all manufactured as they let more illegals in and decline to increase water storage.
It has been trying to rain. Would like to know whats in the chem trails. Someone is getting rich off of the drought. And yes chem trails are real. Planes don’t criss cross over certain areas over and over again. Chemtrails are real just like there is no such thing as aliens.
@FPN….I believe brother!!!!!…My heavy duty Reynolds foil hat will protect me, it needs to be double layered though. Don’t forget to line your umbrella, and whatever you do… Don’t look up!
Can I get a grant to cover the 15% rate hike CCWD is proposing?
