The USDA Farm Service office in Sigourney has been dealing with flooding and a sewer backup in their office.  A combination of sewage and storm water affected the building’s wiring and filing cabinets.  Amy Krapfl, the executive director of the Keokuk County USDA office in Sigourney, tells the No Coast Network the office is still open.

“At this point, we’re operating with limited staff and limited services out of our Sigourney office.  So any farmer can walk into our office today and we should be able to help them.”

Krapfl says the Keokuk County loan service employees are now operating out of the USDA’s Washington County office in Washington.  They can be reached at 319-653-6654.
