Lincoln, Nebraska – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood sent a letter to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) urging their timely response to livestock loss due to extreme heat and humidity.

Nebraska leads the nation in every aspect of beef production. We are the top beef processing state, number one for cattle on feed, and the lead exporter to several nations around the world. The beef industry has an undoubtable impact on the lives of almost every Nebraskan,” Rep. Flood said. “I urge the USDA and the FSA to work quickly and diligently in responding to producers, providing technical assistance, processing applications, accurately calculating payments, and delivering much-needed relief.”
