Arizona Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP) Recipients, 2022-2023

Searchable list of Arizona recipients of Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP) assistance paid by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency from 2022 to 2023. All of the recipients listed below aren’t public land ranchers, but many are.

Note: The Mohave County payments marked with an asterisk* were issued from an FSA office in southern Utah to Arizona ranchers operating in the remote Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon. There are still more payments to other Arizona Strip ranchers that aren’t included in this database.

FYI – This database currently only includes information about Arizona Strip ranches, the addition of the ELRP amounts disbursed throughout the rest of Arizona is awaiting a response to USDA FOIA request #2025-FSA-03082-F.

ELRP Background Information

In September, 2021, Congress passed the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (P.L. 117-43), which provided at least $750 million nationally for livestock producers impacted by droughts or wildfires. This resulted in the U.S.D.A. Farm Service Agency (FSA) creating a “temporary” Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP). Ranchers were eligible to receive ELRP assistance in the same year they had collected assistance from the FSA’s already existing drought relief program – the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). In fact, ranchers that received LFP payments were automatically eligible to receive ELRP payments. The first round of ELRP payments were issued in 2022.
