2011 Livestock Forage Program Grazing Losses
ALBUQUERQUE, NM - Salomon Ramirez, State Executive Director for the New Mexico USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), is pleased to announce that the Livestock Forage Program (LFP) has assisted over one thousand producers, which has paid over $8.5 million since March 24th. The continued drought and wildfires have had a drastic impact on the livestock industry.
Eligible ranchers and livestock producers are encouraged to file an application for forage grazing losses that occurred on or before September 30, 2011. The application must be submitted to the County FSA Office no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar year in which the loss occurs. The deadline to file for 2011 LFP forage grazing losses is January 30, 2012.
LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered livestock grazing losses due to qualifying drought or fire. Fire losses apply only to federally managed rangeland. Eligible livestock under this program includes beef cattle, alpacas, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep and swine.
Currently 31 of the 32 counties in New Mexico are eligible for LFP payments. Payments range from $20.00 to $60.00 per animal unit. As of today, 26 counties are eligible to receive Tier 3 payments, which amount to $60.00 per animal unit.
For more information or to apply for LFP and other USDA Farm Service Agency disaster assistance programs, please contact your local County FSA Office. Information can also be obtained online at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.
