MORE COUNTIES ELIGIBLE FOR LIVESTOCK FORAGE DISASTER PROGRAM (LFP) AS DROUGHT CONTINUES

Based on the US Drought Monitor, livestock producers in Aiken, Allendale, Beaufort, Bamberg, Barnwell, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Edgefield, Hampton, Horry, Jasper, McCormick, Orangeburg Counties and now Marion and Georgetown Counties that graze native grasses, improved grasses and forage sorghum are potentially eligible for Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP)

Please note the following:

Applications for LFP must be made no later than 30 days after the end of the calendar year in which the disaster occurred. No late filed applications are eligible.

For producers to be eligible for assistance under LFP, producers must, for the grazing land incurring losses because of the disaster have either insurance for the forage crop under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (FCIA), or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). This requirement is waived for producers determined to be Socially Disadvantaged (SDA), limited resource, or beginning farmer or rancher.

The LFP Fact Sheet can be found at this site: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/newsReleases?area=newsroom&subject=landing&topic=pfs&newstype=prfactsheet&type=detail&item=pf_20110201_distr_en_lfp.html

For more information, livestock producers should contact the respective County Office.
