Nominations open through Aug. 1 for FSA committees

The nomination period for farmers and ranchers to serve on local Farm Service Agency county committees began Wednesday, June 15, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“Through the county committees, farmers and ranchers have a voice. Their opinions and ideas get to be heard on federal farm programs,” said FSA Administrator Val Dolcini in a news release. “I encourage all eligible farmers and ranchers across the spectrum of American agriculture, to get involved in this year’s elections. We have seen an increase in the number of qualified nominees, especially among women and minorities, and I hope that trend continues.”

To be eligible to serve on a FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in an FSA-administered program, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area in which they are nominated.

Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at fsa.usda.gov/elections.

Nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business Aug. 1. FSA will mail election ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 7. Newly-elected committee members and alternates will take office Jan. 1, 2017.
