The flood forage program does:
- Provide farm businesses with relief during an approved timeframe, allowing businesses time to find alternative forage options and supporting immediate livestock health and welfare
- Provide hay for eligible livestock based upon standard animal consumption levels
- Encourages businesses to begin transition planning as soon as possible
- Require that the feeding and forage storage locations are safe, feed transportation can be done in a safe manner and livestock caregivers are secure.
