The ongoing heat wave has resulted in unfortunate livestock deaths, but there is hope for Nebraska producers through the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP). This program offers compensation to livestock owners and contract growers who experience livestock death losses beyond normal mortality due to adverse weather events.
Compensation is available for those who suffer reduced sale prices for owned livestock due to injury from eligible loss conditions.
The Nebraska USDA Farm Service Agency manages the Livestock Indemnity Program, providing a lifeline to producers facing losses. If you are eligible for compensation under LIP, it can help alleviate the financial burden caused by the heat wave's impact on livestock.
To learn more about the Livestock Indemnity Program or to begin the application process, contact the Madison County FSA office at (402) 371-5350. You can also find further information at https://www.farmers.gov/protection-recovery
Don't wait to seek assistance; this program is designed to support producers during challenging times and provide relief amid the unpredictable nature of adverse weather conditions.
