The United States Department of Agriculture Secretary has designated seven east central Wisconsin counties as disaster areas due to crop losses from heavy rains in late June and early July. Calumet, Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Brown, Sheboygan and Outagamie counties are included in the designation. Calumet County lost more than 30 percent of its strawberry crop as a result of excessive rain and flooding that kept fields underwater and soils over-saturated for an extended time. Farmers in all seven counties will be eligible for assistance including emergency loans, depending on their production losses. They should contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency offices for information.
