USDA has released $1 billion in disaster relief for the livestock producers impacted by wildfires or drought. North Dakota Senator John Hoeven praised Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for getting this assistance out in a timely manner. “We worked to secure this emergency assistance for our ranchers who suffered not only drought but wildfires last year that even killed a couple of people here in North Dakota as well as cattle, this will help with those losses, not only for our North Dakota ranchers but across the country.” The payments will be automatically issued to ranchers who have an approved Livestock Forage Disaster Program application on file with the Farm Service Agency for 2023 or 2024.
