JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Gov. Jay Nixon is seeking federal disaster aid for 32 Missouri counties hit by flooding and severe storms in recent months.
Nixon made the request this week for a major disaster declaration. Most of the 32 counties are in western and northern Missouri.
The governor's office said Wednesday that Nixon has also asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to designate 55 counties as primary disaster areas. That designation allows farmers to get help from the federal agency's Farm Service Agency.
The 55 counties are scattered throughout Missouri.
