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.
