Read MoreCounty committees make informed decisions in Farm Service Agency county offices across the country. Every FSA office is required to have a county committee, which is made up of local farmers who are elected by local farmers, to guide the delivery of farm programs at the local level. Committee members play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA. Committees make important decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues.
County committees allow farmers to make important decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally to best serve their needs. There’s an increasing need for representation from underserved producers, which includes beginning, women and other minority farmers.
From now until Aug. 1, farmers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations, including those representing beginning, women and minority producers, may also nominate candidates to better serve their communities. To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, nominees must have an interest as an owner, operator or tenant on a farm in the Local Administrative Area (LAA). Contact your local FSA office to see which LAA have elections this year.
To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available online, or through your county office. All nomination forms for the 2022 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1.
For more information, please visit fsa.usda.gov/elections or contact your local FSA office.strong
