If you have changes to your farming operation please don't keep it to yourself. Gaining or losing land? Landowners changed? New breaking? Let Twyla know as soon as possible!! email twyla.trautmann@usda.gov
Letting us know now will save you time later!
This is the time of year that storms kill livestock. The LIP program helps with these losses but you must be prepared. Keep good records of what you have on hand and of what you lost. And if you have a significant loss, ask someone who is not a close relative or employee, like a neighbor, Vet, or even your banker, to witness and vouch for your loss. Pictures help also. I know its not something you like to advertise but it helps simplify the application process.
