Farm Service
Agency Seeks
County Committee
Candidates
The Farm Service Agency (FSA)
is looking for candidates for the
farmer-elected County Committee
election to be held this fall.
"It is crucial that every eligible ag
ricultural producer take part in this
election because county committees
are a direct link between the
farm community and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,"
says Hank Hammond, Lee
County Executive Director.
"The County Committee system
needs everyone to get involved-
from voters to committee can
didates. Almost anyone eligible
to take part in a local FSA pro
gram may be a candidate for the
committee."
Nomination forms can cur
rently be obtained from FSA
county offices. Completed
nomination forms are due back
to the FSA office by October 29.
FSA will notify nominees and
mail election ballots to eligible
voters in mid-November. Com
pleted ballots must be returned
to FSA offices and postmarked
by December 3. Elected mem
bers and alternates will take of
fice January 1,2002.
FSA County Committees
make decisions on: commodity
price support loans and pay
ments; establishment of allot
ments, yields and marketing
quotas; farmer loans; and con
servation programs; incentive,
indemnity, and disaster pay
ments for some commodities;
and other farm disaster assis
tance.
"The County Committee is an
important part of the service de
livery of the USDA. We'd like
to include more farmers in non-
traditional operations and people
whose livelihoods depend on
farming," said Hammond.
"We're also looking for small
farmers, specialty crop farmers,
truck farmers, and spouses or
business partners-anyone who
would be able to add some new
or different experiences to their
local County Committee."
For more information contact
your local USDA Farm Service
Agency office at 759-9267.
