What is Livestock Forage Disaster Program?
The Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) is a federal assistance program that provides financial assistance to eligible livestock producers who have suffered grazing losses due to drought, fire, and other eligible disasters. The program is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA).
Livestock Forage Disaster Program Calculation Formula
To calculate the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) assistance for an eligible livestock producer, you can use the following formula:
Total Payment = (Number of Eligible Livestock) x (Payment Rate per Head per Day) x (Number of Eligible Grazing Days)
The payment rate per head per day will depend on the type of livestock and the region in which the farm or ranch is located. This information should be provided by the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), which administers the LFP.
For example, if an eligible producer has 100 head of cattle, the payment rate is $0.75 per head per day, and there were 60 eligible grazing days, the total payment would be calculated as follows:
Total Payment = (100 head) x ($0.75/head/day) x (60 days) = $4500
