BP has set up a toll-free number for agricultural producers who may have sustained a loss due to the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico. Producers affected by the oil spill are advised to call BP at 1-800-440-0858 to report the loss. Producers suffering losses should maintain documentation (proof of purchase receipts, photographs, trip sheets, etc.) that could help prove a loss caused by the spill.

Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry
Minimize Commissioner of Agriculture & Forestry Mike Strain DVM

 

 

 Before any country can be a great nation it must first be a nation great in agriculture. For Louisiana to maintain a leading position, we must surpass existing standards of agricultural and forestry achievement and seek additional opportunities for growth and prosperity.
 
Louisiana's agricultural industries and its forestry, soil and water resources are critical to the advancement of our state and play a central role in our diverse cultural heritage. 

As your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I am committed to working with the farmer and forester, producer and processor and all others to ensure our food is safe, our fiber production among the best and our animals strong and healthy. Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving you.
