Farmers and Ranchers
to Receive Documentation of USDA Services
Local USDA Offices Issue Receipts for Services Provided
Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds
agricultural producers that FSA provides a receipt to customers who request or
receive assistance or information on FSA programs.
As part
of FSA’s mission to provide enhanced customer service, producers who visit FSA
will receive documentation of services requested and provided. From December
through June, FSA issued more than 327,000 electronic receipts
The 2014
Farm Bill requires a receipt to be issued for any agricultural program
assistance requested from FSA, the National Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) and Rural Development (RD). Receipts include the date, summary of the
visit and any agricultural information, program and/or loan assistance provided
to an individual or entity.
In some
cases, a form or document – such as a completed and signed program enrollment
form –serve as the customer receipt instead of a printed or electronic receipt.
A service is any information, program or loan assistance provided whether
through a visit, email, fax or letter.
