(Chinook) – The Blaine County Farm Services Agency office is reminding producers that Blaine County was declared a Contiguous disaster due to Drought that occurred June 1, 2026. Under this designation, if you have operations in any primary or contiguous county, you are eligible to apply for low interest emergency loans.
Emergency loans help you recover from production and physical losses due to drought, flooding and other natural disasters or quarantine.
You have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for emergency loan assistance. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. You can borrow up to 100 percent of actual production or physical losses, to a maximum amount of $500,000.
For more information about emergency loans, contact the Blaine County USDA Service Center at 406-357-2320.
