FSA accepting nominations for county committees

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) is now accepting nominations for county committee members. County committee members make important decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally. All nomination forms for the 2022 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1, 2022. 

Producers who participate or cooperate in a USDA program and reside in a Local Administrative Area (LAA) that is up for election this year may be nominated for the county committee. Individuals may nominate themselves or others, and qualifying organizations may also nominate candidates. Producers should contact their local FSA office to register and find out how to get involved in their county’s election, including if their LAA is up for election this year.
