Attention Lincoln County Livestock Producers!
If you planted long season small grains for grazing purposes in fall of 2023, you may be eligible for reimbursement through the 2024 Livestock Forage Program (LFP). Now, let's dive into what you need to know for the application process:- Compensation is based on long season small grains planted in pastures as of November 14th, 2023.
- The program calculates payments based on the highest number of livestock inventory on small grain planted pastures between September 14th and November 14th, 2023.
- For pastures not certified by November 14th, 2023, there's a filing fee of $46.00 per farm serial number (not tract).
- You can also include sold (mitigated) livestock if they were sold between September 14th and November 14th, 2023. Remember, you'll need copies of receipts for verification.
- The sign-up deadline is September 30th, 2024.
- Please note that the FSA office only accepts checks for filing fees; no cards or cash.
- If you're not already established in the FSA system, don't worry! We can set you up when you come in for your appointment.
- Additionally, there's a form for landowner signatures for any leased land that qualifies for LFP.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, please call the Gaston-Lincoln Farm Service Agency at 704-922-3806 ext. 2.
Let's make the most of this opportunity to support our local producers and enhance our community's livestock industry!
