All agricultural producers are encouraged to participate in FSA County Committee elections, whether a beginning or established producer or whether a large or small operation, because FSA County Committees are producers’ link with the USDA. Agricultural producers may be nominated for candidacy if they: 

  • Participate or cooperate in a USDA program; and 
  • Reside in the Local Administrative Area (LAA) that is up for election this year 

FSA County Committee nominations are due August 1, 2024. Nomination forms can be requested from your local FSA Service Center or obtained online. 

For more information, contact your local USDA Service Center.Â
