FSA Issues Final ELRP Payments For 2023 And 2024

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) has issued final Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP) payments for 2023 and 2024 drought, flood and wildfire losses. Eligible applicants who applied for ELRP 2023 and 2024 flood and wildfire (wildfire losses on non-federally managed lands) assistance will receive 100% of their calculated payment in a single lump sum. 

 Additionally, an automatic second payment is being sent to producers who previously received a factored payment for ELRP 2023 and 2024 assistance for losses due to eligible drought and wildfires (wildfire losses on federally managed lands). Due to program demand, initial payments were factored by 35% to ensure total program expenditures did not exceed available funding.
