| 02-22437 | Notice of Funds Availability; 2002 Cattle Feed Program | Notice | This Notice announces the availability of $150 million under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (section 32) and Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)-owned nonfat dry milk (NDM) to implement the 2002 Cattle Feed Program (CFP). This program will provide feed assistance to foundation beef cattle operations in Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, and Wyoming. The CFP is designed to provide feed assistance to eligible foundation beef herd owners/lessees in areas most severely stricken by drought. The program is available only in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. These States were selected because the most recent data shows that at least 75 percent of the pasture and range crops in these states are rated "poor" or "very poor" with more than 50 percent of these acres rated as "very poor." At the time of the selection of States for participation in the 2002 Cattle Feed Program, other drought-impacted States' pasture and range crops rating were in the 75 percent category; however, their "very poor" rating was significantly less than 50 percent. Accordingly, the four States with the very worst overall rating were determined to have the most dire immediate need for assistance to prevent further liquidation of foundation beef herds. An approximate forty-day supply of feed will be provided under CFP, which should feed the eligible livestock in these four States until fall grazing and additional roughage becomes available. This forty-day feed assistance period is neither too short a time to be ineffective nor an unnecessarily long period for sustenance, and was a consideration in determining the States to be included as eligible for participation in 2002 CFP. The Farm Service Agency (FSA), through a signup process, will determine eligible producers and the amount of assistance that will be available in the form of a feed credit to be used at participating feed dealers. FSA will also cooperate with feed mills to help distribute the supplemental feed. Stocks of nonfat dry milk owned by the CCC will be made available to the feed industry at a reduced price to help reduce the feed cost. | 2002-09-03 | 2002 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/09/03/02-22437/notice-of-funds-availability-2002-cattle-feed-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-09-03/pdf/02-22437.pdf | Agriculture Department; Commodity Credit Corporation; Farm Service Agency | 12,76,157 | This Notice announces the availability of $150 million under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (section 32) and Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)-owned nonfat dry milk (NDM) to implement the 2002 Cattle Feed Program (CFP).
