President Biden had authorized a Major Disaster Declaration earlier Tuesday, aimed at assisting Iowa small business owners and homeowners affected by the storm, but this new request from Reynolds and Naig is specifically aimed at assisting farmers.
In their request, Reynolds and Naig seek eligible assistance for the following eight Iowa counties: Clarke, Harrison, Mills, Polk, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Shelby, and Union.
