USDA Farm Service Agency Accepting Nominations for County Committees

Nominations are now being accepted for growers to serve on county committees for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency. These committees play an important role in making decisions about how federal farm programs are administered at the local level. Committee members serve three-year terms.

Individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by a qualifying organization. Producers may be nominated if they:

• Participate or cooperate (have provided information about their operation to FSA, even if they have not applied or received program benefits) in a USDA program.
• Reside in the Local Administrative Area that is up for election in 2024. Individuals can identify their LAA online.

Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office to determine if their LAA is up for election this year and find out how they can get involved. To be considered for an FSA county committee, nominees must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The deadline for submission of 2024 nomination forms is August 1, 2024.
