Two days after the President of America signed the Declaration on the allocation of funds to help the flooded farmers of Nebraska, he issued a similar Declaration for Iowa, giving Federal aid to both States.

This week may open another channel of assistance, if the Senate approves the direction of the amount of 13.5 billion U.S. dollars, which will go to the flood-affected areas of Northern plains and Western corn belt of the country

The Governor of Iowa Kim Reynolds noted the timeliness of assistance, which "will play an important role in restoring Iowa... the Road to recovery will be long, but it is clear that in Iowa, there are resources that we need for recovery."

Reynolds estimated the loss at nearly $ 1.6 billion in its request for assistance to the administration trump.

In Nebraska unofficial estimates of the losses exceed $ 1.3 billion, a large part of the damage is in agriculture. Ranchero lost cattle and calves due to storms and floods, and the growers have lost their stocks of grain and farm buildings.

Presidential Declaration of disaster provides assistance such as grants and loans at low interest rates for housing and home repairs, those in the most affected districts.

In addition, the Ministry of agriculture of the United States offers loans of up to $ 500,000 for farmers and ranchers to cover production and property losses.
