USDA Designates 9 Alabama Counties as Natural Disaster Areas Due to Drought

On November 4, 2026, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designated nine counties in Alabama as natural disaster areas due to severe drought conditions. The primary eligible counties include Autauga, Baldwin, Bibb, Chilton, Dallas, Perry, Pickens, Shelby, and Tuscaloosa. Additionally, several contiguous counties in Alabama, Florida (Escambia), and Mississippi (Lowndes and Noxubee) are also eligible for assistance. This designation was made because these counties experienced a drought intensity value of D2 (Severe Drought) for eight or more consecutive weeks, or D3 (Extreme Drought) or D4 (Exceptional Drought) during the growing season, as reported by the U.S. Drought Monitor. The Secretarial natural disaster designation enables the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) to provide emergency credit to agricultural producers affected by the drought. The application deadline for these emergency loans is June 21, 2027. Farmers can utilize resources like the Disaster Assistance Discovery Tool and Loan As...
