RESOLUTION REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE FARMERS: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following resolution: REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR FARMERS WHEREAS, for the past seven months Iredell County and North Carolina have suffered the most extreme drought in over one hundred years, and WHEREAS, while all our citizens have felt the effects of this drought, those experiencing the most extreme immediate conditions are the farmers who are already enduring economic hardships that have been intensifying for years, and WHEREAS, we are appreciative of the generosity of our neighboring states in donating hay for immediate use, for Governor Martin's declaration of a disaster area on the state level, and for the provision for U. S. Agricultural Department to donate surplus feed grains to farmers in counties that need livestock and poultry feed; however, this does not alleviate the immediate financial needs nor does it do anything for the farmers who do not have poultry and livestock who, too, have immediate financial crises, NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners requests financial assistance, particularly but not exclusively, in the form of grants, from the Federal Government for all farmers who have suffered from the drought, realizing that this is a disaster equal to the agonies of any other natural disaster such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, FURTHER, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners asks that a copy of this resolution be sent to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for consideration and adoption at the 1986 Annual Meeting in Winston-Salem.
