LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers who suffer grazing losses for covered livestock due to drought on privately owned or cash leased land or fire on federally managed land. County committees can only accept LFP applications after notification is received by the National Office of qualifying drought or if a federal agency prohibits producers from grazing normal permitted livestock on federally managed lands due to qualifying fire. Eligible livestock producers must complete a CCC-853 and required supporting documentation no later than 30 days after the end of the calendar year in which the grazing loss occurred.

Additional Information about LFP, including eligible livestock and fire criteria, is available at your local FSA County Office or online at: www.fsa.usda.gov.
