Brown County was declared eligible for Farm Service Agency (FSA) disaster emergency loans on January 15, 2014. Generally that means that farmers who have lost at least 30 percent of their production or suffered any physical loss to the drought are eligible for FSA loans. Proceeds from crop insurance and/or hazard insurance are taken into consideration when determining a producer’s eligibility and total loss.
The FSA office is at Hwy 377 South in Brownwood, Texas. The telephone number is 325-643-1587.
