FLAG is issuing a revised version of Farmers’ Guide to County Committee Elections in the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA). The revisions place additional emphasis on the need for election nominees to use the most current FSA nomination form. They also elaborate on the use of email to memorialize conversations and decisions made by FSA employees.

As explained in our December 10, 2024 post, the Guide explains the rules governing the election of FSA County Committee members. FSA County Committees exercise significant power over the delivery of FSA services at the county level. Therefore, the election of Committee members should be of great interest to all farmers and ranchers that participate in FSA programs.

Farmers, farm advocates, farm attorneys, and others are welcome to consult, download, print, or share the Guide for free.
