Oklahoma City——美国农业部（USDA）10月19日宣布，New Mexico 近期洪水已对当地农业生产造成显著影响，该部现为受灾农户与牧场主提供技术与资金援助，帮助其从作物、土地、基础设施与牲畜损失中恢复。
农业部负责农场生产与保护事务的副部长 Richard Fordyce 表示，农业部有一整套项目支持农牧业者从自然灾害中恢复，他鼓励受影响的生产者联系当地农业部服务中心报告损失、了解可用的项目选项。
按农业部公布的安排，牲畜死亡超过正常水平、或被迫低价出售受伤牲畜的生产者，可申请牲畜赔偿项目（LIP）；2026年度损失须在2027年3月1日前向农业服务局（FSA）提交损失通知。紧急牲畜、蜜蜂与养殖鱼类援助项目（ELAP）可补偿饲料与放牧损失，蜜蜂养殖者还可就蜂群损失与蜂箱损坏申请，同样须在2027年3月1日前完成申请。果园与苗圃种植者可通过树木援助项目（TAP）获得补种或修复的成本分担，申请须在灾害发生或损失显现后90天内提出。
农业服务局 New Mexico 执行主任 Zachary Riley 表示，受影响的生产者应尽快向当地 FSA 县办公室报告全部作物、牲畜与农场基础设施损失，并提前备齐农场记录、畜群清单、收据与损失照片等材料。农业部还提供直接与担保农场贷款、紧急低息贷款、农场仓储设施贷款，以及紧急保护项目（ECP）等恢复支持；持有非承保作物灾害援助（NAP）的生产者须在损失显现后15天内报告，持有联邦作物保险者须在发现损失72小时内通知保险代理人并在15天内书面跟进。
风险管理局（RMA）局长 Pat Swanson 表示，作物保险与其他风险管理选项正是为应对不可预知的自然灾害而设，受灾生产者应与保险代理人保持密切联系。自然资源保护局（NRCS）方面表示将逐户协助土地所有者评估损失与恢复办法，其紧急流域保护项目可协助地方政府与部落处理 debris 清理与河岸稳定等流域隐患，申请须在灾害发生后60天内提出。
USDA Offers Disaster Assistance to New Mexico Producers Hit by Flooding, With Several Deadlines on March 1, 2027
OKLAHOMA CITY — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on October 19 that recent flooding has significantly impacted agricultural operations in New Mexico, and that technical and financial assistance is available to help farmers and livestock producers recover from crop, land, infrastructure and livestock losses.
"USDA has a suite of programs to support farmers and ranchers as they recover from natural disasters," said Richard Fordyce, Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation, encouraging impacted producers to contact their local USDA Service Center to report losses and learn about program options.
Under the programs outlined by USDA, producers who experience livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality, or sell injured livestock at a reduced price, may be eligible for the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), with a notice of loss due to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) by March 1, 2027, for 2026 losses. The Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) covers feed and grazing losses, and for honeybees may cover colony loss and hive damage, with the same March 1, 2027 deadline. Orchardists and nursery growers may seek cost-share help through the Tree Assistance Program (TAP), applying within 90 days of the disaster event or when the loss becomes apparent.
Zachary Riley, FSA's State Executive Director in New Mexico, said impacted producers should timely report all crop, livestock and farm infrastructure damages to their local FSA county office and gather farm records, herd inventory, receipts and pictures of damages. USDA also listed farm loans including low-interest emergency loans, the Farm Storage Facility Loan Program, and the Emergency Conservation Program. Producers with Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage must file a notice of loss within 15 days of the loss becoming apparent, and those with federal crop insurance should report damage to their agent within 72 hours and follow up in writing within 15 days.
Risk Management Agency (RMA) Administrator Pat Swanson said crop insurance and other risk management options exist because producers never know what nature has in store, and urged close contact with crop insurance agents. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) said it will work one-on-one with landowners on recovery, and its Emergency Watershed Protection program can help local governments and tribal sponsors address debris removal and streambank stabilization, with requests due within 60 days of the disaster.
