North Dakota Farm Service Agency Executive Director Marcy Svenningsen says with drought progressing in northern North Dakota, eight counties are now eligible for the Livestock Forage Program. The list includes Bottineau, Rolette, Towner, Cavalier, Ramsey, Benson, Pierce and McHenry counties. “This means those ranchers with reduced forage from pastures are eligible for a forage payment. When you hit D3 drought, that automatically triggers a payment.” During 2021 when North Dakota suffered from a widespread severe drought, LFP paid out $83 million.
