In order to receive USDA program payments, each payment recipient
must have an adjusted gross income verification consent form on file
with the Internal Revenue Service. Individuals must submit form
CCC-927, and legal entities must submit form CCC-928. Without these
forms on file, producers will not receive USDA program payments.
Emergency loans are available to help qualified producers in
disaster-designated counties recover from production and physical
losses due to natural disasters. Producers have eight months after
the disaster designation to apply for a loan.

Producers with livestock deaths that are in excess of normal
mortality and caused by adverse weather must file a notice of loss
within 30 days of when loss is apparent. Proper documentation of
loss must be provided.
The Livestock Forage Program provides compensation to eligible
livestock producers who suffer grazing losses due to qualifying
drought or fire. Fire losses apply only to federally managed
rangeland. County eligibility is determined by the U.S. Drought
Monitor. Producers must have crop insurance or NAP coverage on the
forage or grazing land.
Ongoing programs include Direct and Guaranteed Farm Operating and
Farm Ownership Loans, Rural Youth Loans, Farm Storage Facility
Loans, Transition Incentives Program, and the Continuous
Conservation Reserve Program.
Due to budget constraints, FSA can no longer mail regular
