§ 10069 Bovine Indemnity Payment Rules

Food and Agricultural Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says you won’t get any more money from the program unless you follow all the rules for every cow you add to your herd and keep your farm clean enough for the USDA.

Key Takeaways

•You must follow every rule for each new cow before getting more money.
•Your farm must stay clean enough for the USDA or state department to approve.
•If either condition isn’t met, the payment is blocked.

Example

A farmer buys a new calf but never registers it or gets the required health checks, and the barn is messy and fails a USDA inspection.

Because the farmer didn’t follow the rules for the new animal and the farm isn’t clean, the program will refuse to give any further payment.
