Warren, Markey, McGovern, Neal Applaud USDA Disaster Declarations for Flood-Stricken Counties, Farmers in Western Massachusetts

Press Release

"This USDA disaster declaration means immediate federal support for Western Massachusetts farmers ravaged by recent flooding, but we must do much more to invest in rural communities. Unlocking this federal funding will make a difference in farmers' monthly bills through refinancing options at lower interest rates, and I'll keep fighting hard for family farmers to thrive as an integral part of the state's rural economy. I commend Governor Healey for her leadership, my Massachusetts colleagues in Congress for their support, and the Biden-Harris administration for its vital partnership."
