Crop Disaster Declared In 10 Md. Counties

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) ― State agriculture officials say 10 counties have received disaster designation for crop losses because of vomitoxin contamination.

Gov. Martin O'Malley sought the designation after contamination resulting from wet weather in May and June.

The counties are Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Queen Anne's, Talbot and Washington.

The designation means farmers eligible for emergency loans and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program.

Also eligible are farmers in the contiguous counties of Allegany, Anne Arundel, Caroline, Dorchester, Frederick and Prince George's.
