ALT Excerpt: Dear Governor Ferguson: Thank you for your letter of July 1, 2026, requesting a primary county disaster designation for Okanogan County in Washington due to damage and losses caused by frost and freeze events that occurred during the 2026 Crop Year. I am responding on behalf of the Department. The Department reviewed the loss assessment reports and determined that there were sufficient production losses to warrant a Secretarial natural disaster designation; therefore, I am designating Okanogan County as a primary natural disaster area, in two separate designations. In accordance with section 321(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, additional areas of your State are named as contiguous disaster counties. A Secretarial disaster designation makes farm operators in primary counties and those counties contiguous to such primary counties eligible to be considered for a Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loan assistance, provided eligibility requirements are met.
