Welcome to
the Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) homepage!
I am eager to share with you what we do and
why we do it.
American agriculture
makes up over 15 percent of our gross domestic
product, and it generates $1 trillion in
economic activity each year. One in six working
Americans has a job in some aspect of the
food and fiber economy, while every American
benefits from U.S. agriculture.
FSA employees
are devoted to improving the economic stability
of agriculture by providing top-notch service
to 65 million rural Americans. Our Agency
administers a myriad of programs – farm loans,
farm programs, food aid, conservation incentives,
and others – to help keep our Nation’s farmers
and ranchers on their land, and to help those
who wish to begin farming and ranching for
their livelihoods. Every day FSA helps promote
America’s high-quality, affordable, varied,
and abundant food supply and sound stewardship
of the land.
I hope you will
find our website user-friendly and packed
with useful information. The new design includes
expanded program information, direct links
to news releases, online FSA forms, county
loan deficiency payment rates, and contacts
for buyers and producers.
I welcome feedback
from you. Please send your emails to: James
R. Little. I can’t promise I will be
able to answer each one of you, but I can
promise that I will carefully consider your
thoughts, ideas, and concerns.
