After a near-total loss of their crop last season, one local farm says this year has been very good to them.

BOTETOURT COUNTY, Va. - Drought conditions are improving across much of our area, but thats not stopping counties from declaring a drought disaster. That means if the state and federal government declare drought disasters, some farmers in the counties may be eligible for money from the federal government to help them recover. For other farmers and growers, like Ikenberry Orchards manager Gwen Ikenberry, a federal drought disaster declaration may not help. Some beef cattle farmers won't be so lucky, though. If and when the state and the federal government may declare a drought disaster is unclear.
