Following the recent string of devastating natural disasters in Missouri, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill urges crop and livestock producers to apply for vital federal programs available through the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) designated to help those recover who have been hit by severe flooding or tornados. The FSA administers these programs throughout all affected states in order to help crucial farmland get back to operating condition as soon as possible.
“The recent storms have been devastating to so many farmers who have for so long kept Missouri’s agricultural industry thriving. I hope that these programs will help producers begin the long process of getting back on their feet during this difficult time,” McCaskill said.
Among the key programs available to address impacts from disasters are the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP), the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program.
