Producers in Scott County are eligible to apply for 2026 Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) benefits on improved pasture.
LFP provides compensation if you 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.You must complete a CCC-853 and the required supporting documentation no later than March 1, 2027 for 2026 losses.
For additional information about LFP, including eligible livestock and fire criteria, contact the Sebastian County USDA Service Center at 479-646-8300 ext. 2 or visit fsa.usda.gov.
