USDA Designates Crawford County, Arkansas as Natural Disaster Area Due to Hail, Offering Emergency Loans to Farmers

On November 13, 2026, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designated Crawford County, Arkansas, as a primary natural disaster area. This designation was made in response to significant damage caused by hail. As a result, the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) is now authorized to provide emergency credit through emergency loans to agricultural producers in Crawford County who are recovering from the hail damage. The Secretarial natural disaster designation also extends eligibility for assistance to contiguous counties in Arkansas, including Franklin, Madison, Sebastian, and Washington, as well as contiguous counties in Oklahoma, specifically Adair and Sequoyah. This measure aims to support farmers and ranchers in these areas who have experienced losses due to the natural disaster.
