For producers who have lost livestock due to excessive heat, the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provides financial assistance for livestock deaths as a direct result of adverse weather conditions.
Producers need to document the number and kind of livestock that have died as a result of the excessive heat and timely notify the FSA office of these losses.
For livestock death losses to be eligible under LIP, producers must file a notice of loss with their local FSA office within 30 calendar days from the date the loss is apparent to the producer.
Information pertaining to LIP or other programs administered by FSA can be found online at www.fsa.usda.gov.
