IN RE: PETITION U,S.D.A, TO GRANT "EMERGENCY DESIGNATION" TO OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Farmer's Home Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture has
been delegated the responsibilities of advancing low interest loans to agricultural producers who have
sustained crop losses; and
WHEREAS recent action on the part of the Farmer's Home Administration has expanded the areas
in the state to include additional counties where crop losses due to adverse weather conditions did
occur; and
WHEREAS Michigan, as a maior fruit production state in the nation, did only produce about
664. of a normal apple crop in 1973; and
WHEREAS Oakland County fruit producers did experience a similar loss in apple production;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners petition the
Farmer's Home Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture to grant an "Emergency
Designation" to Oakland County, thus permitting commercial fruit producers to apply for low interest
loans enabling them to continue in their chosen profession during 1974.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
James W. Dunleavy, Commissioner - District 42
The Chairman referred the resolution to Local Government and Equalization Committee. There
