In a progress report Wednesday, July 9, 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says farmers and ranchers who suffered heavy livestock and grazing losses due to extreme weather in the past three years have been quick to take advantage of newly available disaster relief funds. The agency said it has distributed more than $1 billion in relief funds, a little less than half the overall amount predicted in the recently passed farm bill, in just over three months. The agency estimates it will spend $2.5 billion overall on disaster relief cases from 2011 to 2014. (AP Photo/KOTA-TV, Pool, File)
