Lucas Praises Ag Secretary's Decision

Congressman Frank Lucas applauded Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer’s decision today to declare nine counties in Oklahoma primary disaster areas and five counties in Oklahoma contiguous disaster areas due to the severe drought that has hit the state. This follows a decision by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) earlier this month that granted a contiguous disaster designation to Texas and Cimarron counties in the panhandle of Oklahoma.
