## Summary

**Expanding disaster aid to cover crawfish losses from drought.** This bill would add drought as a covered adverse weather event for emergency assistance to farm-raised fish such as crawfish, create crawfish-specific documentation standards, and widen livestock forage assistance to include both weaned and unweaned animals. - Crawfish and farm-raised fish producers: Would make losses of crawfish harvest due to drought or adverse weather eligible for emergency assistance. - Livestock owners: Would expand the Livestock Forage Disaster Program to cover both weaned and unweaned livestock, so more animals qualify for forage disaster help. - USDA and producers: Would require the Secretary, working with eligible producers, to set standards for collecting data, measuring crawfish production declines, and defining drought loss conditions.
