Deadlines for livestock disaster programs nearKansas Adrian J. Polansky, state executive director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency in Kansas reminds livestock producers of applicable deadlines for filing a notice of loss or application for payment for the livestock disaster programs. The Livestock Indemnity Program provides assistance to producers for livestock deaths that result from disaster. LIP compensates livestock owners and contract growers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather, including losses due to hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, extreme heat and extreme cold. The deadline for 2008 losses has passed. Livestock deaths occurring Jan 1 to July 12 must file an application for payment by Jan. 30, 2010; the final date to file a notice of loss has passed. Deaths occurring July 13 to Dec. 31 must file a notice of loss within 30 days after death is apparent, and file an application for payment by Jan. 30, 2010. The Livestock Forage Program provides compensation to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses because of qualified drought or fire. For drought, the losses must have occurred because of a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county on land that is native or improved pastureland, forage sorghum for grazing, or is planted for small graze grazing. For fire, grazing losses must have occurred on rangeland managed by a Federal Agency and the agency prohibited grazing because of a qualifying fire. Finney, Grant, Greeley, Hamilton, Haskell, Kearny, Logan, Meade, Morton, Seward, Stanton, Stevens, Wallace, and Wichita counties have a D2, D3, or D4 Drought Monitor Designation in 2008 which qualifies eligible livestock producers for LFP on certain grazing land losses. For 2008 losses, the application for payment and supporting documentation must be filed by Dec. 10. Producers must have crop insurance or Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program coverage on the grazing land or forage land for it to be eligible.
