Livestock Producers in Phillips County May Be Eligible for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP)

As of July 6, 2017, Phillips County has met the extreme drought (D3) criteria on the U.S. Drought Monitor and livestock producers in the county are eligible to sign up for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). Applications are required for 2017 losses. The LFP application and supporting documentation for 2017 losses must be submitted by January 30, 2018; however, 2017 acreage reports are required to be filed for all eligible land no later than the final reporting date of November 15, 2017. Acreage reports filed after that date will not be accepted which will result in ineligibility for the 2017 LFP program. Required supporting documents may include information related to grazing leases or federal grazing permits, contract grower agreements, documentation to support livestock inventory and more.
