(Undated) – The recovery from the March 31st tornado continues and the county just got another tool. USDA Secretary, Tom Vilsack, has issued four separate disaster declarations for the state of Illinois due to tornadoes and drought that took place during the 2023 Illinois growing season. Crawford is among the counties that have received USDA Disaster Designations as a result of the March tornadoes. The disaster designation allows the USDA Farm Service Agency to provide emergency loans to producers recovering from natural disasters. Randolph, Jackson, Monroe, Perry, St. Clair, and Washington counties received disaster designations due to drought.
