FSA Webinar on Livestock Forage Program

It has recently been brought to our attention there might be a lack of understanding among growers who have both wheat and cattle on their eligibility for the Livestock Forage Program (LFP) in Colorado. By working with staff from Senator Michael Bennet’s office, we have clarified through FSA that wheat is eligible for LFP in Colorado. 

To help producers better understand the program, we have arranged a webinar with FSA to take place on Tuesday, August 30th at 11 a.m. Webinar information is below.
