The Wildlife Damage Compensation program has two major components — wildlife damage to agricultural crops and predation of livestock. The wildlife component reduces financial losses incurred by damage caused by migratory waterfowl and big game to crops, honey products, and leafcutter bee products. Compensation for crop damage due to wildlife pays a portion of the loss or damage to eligible agricultural products. Claims for losses must exceed a $100 minimum value. Producers are not required to participate in AgriInsurance to be eligible for Wildlife Compensation. There are no premiums or administration fees involved with either component of the Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. The predation component reimburses producers for losses to domestic livestock due to predation — for a portion of the animal's commercial value (maximium of $3000). Registered purebred livestock is valued at twice that of the commercial market animal.
