Sign up underway for livestock assistance program

By By

Sign up is underway at the Carbon/Emery County Farm Service Agency office for the Livestock Assistance Program, a grazing loss program that will pay eligible livestock producers for grazing losses on a per head basis of eligible livestock.
According to Kent Jorgensen, FSA county executive director, the program will provide relief to livestock producers who have suffered grazing losses in 2003 and 2004 due to drought, severe weather and related causes, and have limited safety net and risk management tools available.
To speed up the process, producers may sign up on-line from their home or business beginning in April or at any USDA Service Center across the nation.
