USA - Assistance to Preston farmers who lost livestock to animal attacks

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency in Preston County reminds producers who had livestock losses due to attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the federal government — or are protected by federal law — that they could be eligible for the Livestock Indemnity Program. “The Livestock Indemnity Program provides producers with a vital safety net to help them overcome the financial impact from livestock losses due to attacks by animals, including wolves and avian predators,” said Roger Poling, county executive director.” “The program also provides assistance to livestock owners that must sell livestock at a reduced price because of an injury from an attack.” Poling said livestock producers must file a notice of loss within 30 calendar days of when the loss of livestock first becomes apparent. For 2020 losses, producers must also file an application for payment by March 1, 2021. The payment rate is based on 75 percent of the average fair market value for the livestock. Livestock producers must provide proof of an attack and prove that the death of livestock was a direct result of an attack. In addition, livestock producers should bring supporting evidence, including documentation of the number and kind of livestock that died, photographs or video records to document the loss, purchase records, veterinarian records, production records, and other similar documents. Owners who sold injured livestock for a reduced price because the animal was injured due to an attack must provide verifiable evidence of the reduced sale. Effective with the 2018 Farm Bill, there is no longer a per-person and legal entity payment for the LIP. Benefits may also be available for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to an adverse weather event, including hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, and extreme heat or cold.
