FSA County Committee Nominations Start June 15
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- June 15, 2011 -- The State Executive Director for Ohio's Farm Service Agency (FSA), Steve Maurer, announced that candidate nominations begin today for local Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees. FSA is accepting nomination forms for eligible candidates to serve on the local FSA County Committees. The nomination period ends August 1, 2011.
"I encourage producers to become a candidate for their local FSA County Committee and make a difference," said Maurer. "FSA County Committees have an important role in the decision making process for commodity price support loans and payments, conservation and disaster programs and other important agricultural issues in their farming community."
Almost anyone participating or cooperating in a local FSA program may be a candidate. Individuals may nominate themselves or others. All nomination forms must be received in the County FSA office or postmarked by August 1. The nomination form is available at local FSA offices or on Ohio's FSA homepage at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/oh under the "I Want To" section. Voting takes place between November 4th and December 5th, 2011.
A producer is eligible to be a County FSA Committee member if the producer lives in the Local Administrative Areas (LAA) up for election, participates or cooperates in a program administered by FSA and is an eligible voter. Additional information of eligibility to hold office may be obtained at your local FSA office.
