Eligible Loss Condition

To be eligible for a payment for ELRP 2023 and 2024 FW, an eligible livestock producer must have incurred a loss as a result of increased supplemental feed costs due to a qualifying flood or qualifying wildfire that occurred in calendar year 2023 or 2024, if the eligible livestock producer, as of the beginning date of the qualifying disaster event, was an owner, operator, landlord, tenant, sharecropper, or eligible contract grower who shares in the risk of producing livestock and is entitled to share in the eligible covered livestock physically located in a county affected by the qualifying disaster event, or normally would have been physically located in that county, in the absence of the qualifying disaster event. When determining if they had increased supplemental feed costs, livestock producers must take into account any changes in livestock inventories and average market prices from a normal year to the calendar year in which their livestock was impacted by a qualifying disaster event.
