* Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) Information: The Livestock Indemnity Program provides financial assistance to producers for livestock losses above normal mortality rates due to extreme weather conditions, including excessive heat. Producers with this type of impact are encouraged to contact their county FSA office to inquire about LIP, learn about program documentation requirements and report losses. Program information, including current payment rates, can be found here. The deadline to apply for LIP assistance, for 2026 impacts, is March 1, 2027, however producers are encouraged to report their losses to their county FSA office as soon as possible. 

* Drought Resource Information: Many Nebraska counties are experiencing drought conditions despite some recent precipitation. Nebraska FSA county offices are implementing assistance programs, including the Livestock Forage Disaster (LFP) program, which has triggered across much of the state. LFP provides financial assistance to qualified producers who have both grazing livestock and grazing land impacted by drought. This link shows counties that have triggered for LFP in 2026. FSA recently shared information about LFP and other drought resources during a webinar with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Center for Agricultural Profitability.
