Henry To Tour Cimarron County
From The Governor's Office ~ On Wednesday, Governor Henry will tour drought-damaged areas in Cimarron County in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
The governor will land in Boise City at approximately noon and proceed to the town square and county courthouse.
He will visit with residents there before beginning a driving tour of area ranches. Oklahoma's Secretary of Agriculture, Terry Peach, will accompany the governor.
In June, Gov. Henry requested federal disaster aid for Oklahoma farmers and ranchers in nine counties in northwestern Oklahoma. Climatologists and longtime Panhandle residents have compared the latest drought to the Dust Bowl days of the 1930’s.
Extreme heat, dry weather, high winds and other factors have damaged hay forages, livestock, grazing lands, alfalfa and other crops.
