Chase County ranchers are being advised the federal Livestock Forage Program is now in effect.
Producers who own livestock and have an interest in grazing acres may be eligible for disaster payments. All producers who lease grazing acres must provide leasing information to their county office. Producers who have not reported their grazing acres will have to pay late filing fees.
Ranchers interested in participating need to make appointments at the Lyon-Chase County Farm Service Agency Office by calling 343-2813 in Emporia. Unscheduled walk-in customers will not be seen due to reduced staffing numbers in the Emporia office.
If you have questions, however, you can stop by the office at 3020 West 18th Suite A or you can call.
