Executive Order Issued For Kentucky Drought
KENTUCKY....
Citing "severe to extreme" conditions in most of the state, Governor Steve Beshear issued an executive order Thursday declared a state of emergency because of drought conditions, a move that lifts restrictions on truckers hauling relief supplies into Kentucky. The executive order waives size and weight restrictions on trucks hauling water, hay and other relief supplies for livestock, along with fees on oversized and overweight trucks. In addition, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack approved disaster assistance to Kentucky farm families in 91 counties, making them eligible to seek federal financial assistance and emergency loans.
