Drought assistance deadline is Jan. 31

Phase 2 of the emergency drought relief program for livestock producers is now taking applications — but only until Jan. 31.

Producers hit by drought were eligible for a payment of $94 per breeding cow in the first round. In the second phase, they can get an additional payment for extraordinary feed costs (to a maximum of $200 per head).

To submit online, producers must have an AFSC Connect account. They can also download a form and submit it by fax or at a branch office of Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC).
