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 in New Mexico, which has paid over $11.5 million since August 2nd. 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.
As of today, producers in 30 of the 32 counties are eligible for a $60.00 per animal unit payment, livestock producers in one county are eligible for a smaller amount based on severity of the drought and only San Juan county is not eligible as of date.
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.
