* Conservation Reserve Program (CRP): County FSA offices are now accepting Grassland CRP offers.

* Spring Acreage Certification is Under Way: County FSA offices are busy assisting customers with spring acreage certification, which is required to maintain eligibility for financial benefits through many FSA-administered programs. Please follow instructions from your County FSA office regarding its certification process.
* Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP): Many Nebraska counties have triggered for LFP due to drought conditions in the state. LFP provides financial assistance to qualified producers who have both grazing livestock and grazing land impacted by drought. Those who are interested in applying for LFP should contact their county FSA office for more information. This Eligibility Dashboard shows counties that have triggered for LFP.
