FSA County Committee Nomination Deadline is August 1st
(COLUMBIA, Mo.) – July 26, 2011 –Missouri USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Edward Hamill, reminds farmers, ranchers and landowners to nominate farmer and rancher candidates to serve on their local FSA county committee by the August 1, 2011, deadline.
Elected county committee members serve a three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity, and price support programs, as well as other important federal farm program issues.
"County committee members are a valuable asset because they are local producers who participate in FSA programs themselves and have a direct connection to farmers and ranchers in the community,” said Hamill.
Producers may nominate themselves or others as candidates. Organizations that represent minority and women farmers and ranchers may also nominate candidates. Nominees must participate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area (LAA) in which the person is a candidate. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign form FSA-669A. The form and more information about county committee elections are available online at: www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
County committees are comprised of three to five members elected by local producers. All newly elected county committee members and alternates will take office January 2, 2012.
Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on August 1, 2011.
For more information about county committees, please contact your local county FSA office or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
