Trempealeau County Farm Service Agency Proposes New Elective Areas

Whitehall, WI, May 12, 2023 — The county committee for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Trempealeau County has proposed new Local Administrative Area (LAA) boundaries. LAAs are elective areas for FSA county committees in a single county or multi-county jurisdiction. FSA will receive public comment regarding the boundary changes beginning May 15, 2023, through May 30, 2023.

The proposed new LAA boundaries as established by the Trempealeau County Committee are as follows:

  • LAA-1 would represent Albion, Unity, Sumner, Chimney Rock, Hale, and Lincoln.
  • LAA-2 would represent Burnside, Arcadia, Pigeon, and Preston.
  • LAA-3 would represent Ettrick, Gale, Dodge, Trempealeau, and Caledonia. 

Current LAA boundaries can be viewed via a new county committee election GIS locator tool available to FSA customers at fsa.usda.gov/elections. This tool provides the ability for customers to identify the LAA they or their farming interests are located in. 

FSA will accept public comment on the proposed boundary changes from May 15, 2023, through May 30, 2023. Comments should be submitted in writing to the Farm Service Agency in Trempealeau County, 36270 Tower Drive; Suite 300, Whitehall, WI, 54773.

For more information about county committees, please contact the Trempealeau County FSA office at (715) 538-4396 or visit fsa.usda.gov/elections.
