Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) designated counties in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana as primary natural disaster areas due to the recent drought.

"The speed at which Secretary Perdue is taking action for farmers and ranchers is very impressive. It's a level of awareness like I've not seen in previous Administrations.
