2010 Livestock Indemnity Program
The 2008 Farm Bill created several new disaster programs under the title “Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance”. One of the programs created is the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP). This program compensates producers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather.
Livestock owners and contract growers who suffer livestock losses must file a notice of
loss 30 calendar days of when the loss of livestock is apparent, and an application for payment no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar year in which the
loss of livestock occurs.
Eligible Adverse Weather Conditions include: Blizzards, Tornado, Lightning, Earthquakes, Floods, Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat, Wildfires, Disease(must be related to or exacerbated by an eligible adverse weather event to be an eligible cause of livestock deaths under LIP).
For questions and appointments, please call the Valley County FSA Office at 228-4321 Ext 2.
