This program will provide partial reimbursement to eligible producers for economic losses with respect to livestock losses that were the result of natural disasters.
Assistance is available only in counties named as primary disaster counties.
Assistance is not available in contiguous counties under this program. Producers must provide documentation to support loss claims. Horses used for purposes other than human food or the production of food are not eligible. If the producer s income loss attributed to the loss of livestock under contract exceeds the loss of income associated with the normal mortality for the applicable category, benefits can be issued to compensate for the income loss. If the total calculated payments under all approved applications exceed the amount allocated, a uniform reduction will be applied to each producer s payment.
