Disaster Assistance for 2026 Livestock Forage Losses
Producers in Cherokee, Rusk, Smith, Upshur and Gregg County are eligible to apply for 2026 Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) benefits on grazing losses caused by drought.
LFP provides compensation if you suffer grazing losses for covered livestock due to drought on privately owned or cash leased land.
County committees can only accept LFP applications after notification is received by the National Office of qualifying drought.
You must complete a CCC-853 and the required supporting documentation no later than March 1, 2027, for 2026 losses.
Cherokee-Rusk and Smith-Upshur-Gregg FSA are accepting applications.
For additional information about LFP, contact the your local USDA Service Center or visit fsa.usda. gov
