Many Kentucky counties are experiencing some level of drought.

What this means for producers:
If you have experienced grazing losses due to drought, you may qualify for financial assistance through LFP. This program supports eligible livestock producers who rely on grazed forage acres.

Eligible livestock may include:
Cattle (beef & dairy), goats, sheep, horses, deer, elk, bison, llamas, alpacas, and more—provided they were grazing eligible pastureland during the normal grazing period.

Important:
Losses must occur on land located in a county experiencing qualifying drought conditions.
