Governor Lamont Submits Request for Federal Agriculture Disaster Declaration Due To Severe Flooding
Press Release
Issues: Agriculture and Food Environment
"My administration has been in regular contact with farmers from across Connecticut who are experiencing an incredible amount of losses due to the severe and abnormal weather we have experienced just in these first several months of 2023 that is having a major impact on their ability to operate. Farms are small businesses that provide the food we rely on and also employ a significant number of workers. The approval of this declaration will help these farmers continue supporting their businesses. I appreciate Secretary Vilsack's consideration of this request and his ongoing support for Connecticut's agricultural industry."
