Livestock producers now qualify for a USDA program that pays producers for the livestock killed because of the weather.
The Livestock Indemnity Program went into effect July 13 and any producers who have lost livestock from flooding, wildfires or extreme heat or cold may sign up to receive amenities.
The Kansas Livestock Association is pleased about the program that stems from the 2008 Farm Bill because many producers lost livestock in June from high humidity and heat.
If you are interesting in signing up for the program visit your local Farm Service Agency.
