Livestock owners who suffered from financial losses associated with the County Fire may be eligible for a county-backed safety net. Last week, the Yolo County USDA Farm Service Agency announced the rollout of a Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) that offers livestock owners and producers compensation for livestock death losses caused by adverse weather events, including wildfires. The compensation rate for eligible livestock is 75 percent of the average fair market value, the release said. Livestock that die within 60 days of the wildfire or other eligible condition may be considered for the compensation benefit, and producers must file a notice within 30 days of the loss and a separate request for payment no later than 90 days after the calendar year ends. Documentation will be required to enroll in the LIP, including records related to the livestock that died along with photographs or video records if possible. Purchase records, veterinary records and similar documents are also encouraged when filing. Source - https://www.wintersexpress.com
