BILLINGS, Mont. (NMB) – People who have suffered excessive livestock death losses and grazing or feed losses due to recent wildfires may be eligible for disaster assistance programs through the USDA Farm Service Agency.
The Livestock Indemnity Program offers payments for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program provides emergency relief for losses due to feed or water shortages, disease, adverse weather or other conditions which are not adequately addressed by other disaster programs.
Those seeking assistance should make sure to record all pertinent information regarding livestock losses due to the eligible adverse weather or loss conditions.
