Farm Service Agency

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural production across the United States, offering a wide array of programs and services designed for farmers and ranchers. With a network of county and state offices, FSA provides assistance in areas such as loans, disaster recovery, income support, and conservation initiatives. Under the auspices of the USDA, the FSA also engages in outreach and education to help individuals start or grow their farming operations. The agency is actively involved in local governance through county committees, which make key decisions about the administration of federal farm programs tailored to meet the needs of the agricultural community.
