Gov. Chris Gregoire has asked the federal government to designate six Eastern Washington counties as farm disaster areas due to weather-related losses.
Gregoire says farmers in some areas got as little as half the average moisture they usually receive. The six counties are Chelan, Douglas, Ferry, Grant, Lincoln and Okanogan.
A federal disaster declaration would make emergency low-interest loans available to farmers in those areas, as well as adjoining counties.
Gregoire made the request in a letter Thursday to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
