Sign-up for livestock disaster assistance programs is underway
Waverly, Nebraska farmer Tom Peterson visits with USDA’s Krysta Harden.
Eligible farmers and ranchers can now sign up for the USDA’s livestock disaster assistance programs, which were restored by passage of the 2014 farm bill.
USDA deputy secretary of agriculture Krysta Harden was in Nebraska this week to discuss how those programs will help producers who suffered losses due to natural disasters. One of her stops was a crop and cattle operation near Waverly (just outside of Lincoln), where she held an impromptu news conference with the media.
