US Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue says farmers should see disaster aid funding soon.
“Farmers who are eligible for individual disaster aid that signed up last month, the money should start flowing in this week.”
Perdue told reporters in Georgia Tuesday there were some delays at the Office of Management and Budget.
“Well, we thought we had it done three weeks ago, and we had to redo some of that to make them happy.”
He says they are working with the states on block grants to cover damage to non-traditional items like timber and animal facilities.
