Sign-Up Deadline Near for Livestock Disaster Programs
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 06/19/2008

The Wisconsin Farm Service Agency announced that livestock producers have until July 18 to enroll in the 2005-2007 Livestock Compensation Program and Livestock Indemnity Program, which are the two programs that provide aid to livestock producers who suffered eligible livestock or livestock feed losses within those two years because of a natural disaster. Wisconsin producers have received $3.3 million in LCP and LIP payments to date.

"The deadline to enroll in the Livestock Compensation Program and Livestock Indemnity Program is rapidly approaching," said State FSA Director Ben Brancel. "I encourage all eligible producers to enroll soon because sign-up ends on July 18."

The LIP provides payments to eligible livestock owners and contract growers who incurred the death of livestock because of a natural disaster. The LCP provides payments to eligible livestock owners and cash lessees who suffered feed losses or increased feed costs because of a natural disaster.
