The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees and urban county committees are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA and allow grassroots input and local administration of federal farm programs.
Committees are comprised of locally elected agricultural producers responsible for the fair and equitable administration of FSA farm programs in their counties. Committee members are accountable to the Secretary of Agriculture and if elected, become part of a local decision-making and farm program delivery process.
All nomination forms for the 2024 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by Aug. 1, 2024. For more information on FSA county committee elections, including fact sheets, nomination forms and FAQs, visit fsa.usda.gov/elections.
Learn how USDA provides financial assistance to individual farmers through loans, cost share and grant opportunities. This assistance provides beginning farmers and ranchers with capital to support their ag operations from start-up and expansion through disaster recovery. In this webinar, representatives from various agencies will provide an overview of the opportunities and how to participate.
