LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers who suffer grazing losses due to drought or fire on federally managed lands. Payments help ranchers offset the cost of purchasing supplemental feed when drought reduces normal grazing capacity on their land. Eligible producers must have suffered qualifying losses during a program year with a drought intensity of D2 or higher on the drought monitor.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
Are you an eligible livestock producer — eligible livestock includes cattle, buffalo/bison, sheep, goats, horses, swine, or other livestock that graze on eligible grazing land?
Note: honeybees and farm-raised fish are NOT covered by LFP — they are covered under the Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP)
Do you have suffered grazing losses on eligible grazing land in a county that received a qualifying drought monitor rating or a wildfire on federally managed land?
Do you have been in the livestock business at the time of the qualifying disaster event?
Do you have an interest in the affected livestock?
Do you apply at your local USDA Farm Service Agency office by the applicable deadline?
