Committee approves five wildlife damage claims after USDA verification explanation
Summary
USDA Wildlife Services presented 2025 wildlife damage claims and said each site is inspected to verify commercial agricultural use; the committee approved five claims by voice vote and signatures will be collected.
James Doss of USDA Wildlife Services presented the 2025 wildlife damage claims and asked committee members to sign the enrollment documents. Doss explained that Wildlife Services conducts in‑person sampling at each claim location to ensure the site is used for commercial agriculture (harvested for feed, silage or grain) and not for food plots or illegal baiting.
After questions about screening for food plots versus commercial crops, a motion to approve five wildlife damage claims was made by Randy Newman and seconded by K Wilson; the committee approved the claims by voice vote. Doss said he would collect signatures at the end of the meeting.
The committee did not provide detailed claim amounts in the transcript; the presentation focused on the verification process rather than specific payouts.
