USDA joins FarmRaise to offer online livestock disaster decision tools

April 23, 2024 — 

The USDA has unveiled a new, online Livestock Indemnity Program Decision Tool and farm loan resources available to agricultural producers and cooperators who help producers access USDA disaster assistance, farm loans and other federal farm programs. The new LIP tool and the farm loan informational video resources were developed in partnership with FarmRaise and USDA's Farm Service Agency.

These tools are now available here.

"By providing collaborative outreach and technical assistance to the agricultural community, the Farm Service Agency's partnerships with organizations like FarmRaise, Inc. increase awareness of and broader participation in our extensive suite of farm and farm loan programs," said FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux. "Offering innovative tools and resources with help from our cooperators breaks down program delivery barriers ensuring equitable access to our programs for millions of rural, urban and small-scale to mid-sized producers."
