The USDA is urging farmers impacted by drought to apply for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) through their Farm Service Agency offices by the January 31st deadline.

Robert Bonnie, Under Secretary of Farm Production and Conservation, tells Brownfield the program will help producers in the large parts of the country that were in a difficult drought last summer.

“The livestock forage program can help producers make up for lost forage and by paying a share of their losses, if they were in counties or areas heavily impacted by drought.”

Bonnie says it’s important to apply for the LFP by January 31st because those producers may also be eligible for additional resources from Congress for drought damages.
