Disaster Assistance for 2021 Livestock Forage Losses
Producers are eligible to apply for 2021 Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) benefits on small grain, native pasture, improved pasture, annual ryegrass, forage sorghum.
LFP provides compensation if you suffer grazing losses for covered livestock due to drought on privately owned or cash leased land or fire on federally managed land.
County committees can only accept LFP applications after notification is received by the National Office of qualifying drought or if a federal agency prohibits producers from grazing normal permitted livestock on federally managed lands due to qualifying fire. You must complete a CCC-853 and the required supporting documentation no later than January 31, 2022, for 2021 losses. Supporting documentation includes a 2021 FSA-578 Report of Acreage, livestock numbers and leases for all leased land.
In order to be eligible for a LFP payment you must have timely filed an FSA-578, provide livestock inventory as of the date the county became eligible for LFP and you must provide leases for rented land or a CCC-855 Annual Lease Agreement Certification Statement. If you cannot provide a lease or CCC-855 for leased land, the land will not be eligible.
For additional information about LFP, including eligible livestock contact your USDA Service Center at or visit fsa.usda.gov
FSA County Offices are open for business by phone appointment only! The service center remains closed for visitors, but we will continue to work with producers by phone and digital tools like Microsoft Teams, Box and One Span and emails.
