A Message from Sandy Chalmers

U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue recently announced the individuals who will serve on the Wisconsin USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) state committee. The state committee is responsible for the oversight of farm programs and county committee operations, resolving appeals from the agriculture community, and helping to keep producers informed about FSA programs.
Each state committee has five members, one chairperson and four members.  The individuals appointed to serve on this committee include Committee Chair Lisa Condon, Horicon; Thomas Gillis, River Falls; David Heideman, Clintonville; Anthony Kurtz, Wonewoc; and Tom McClellan, Delavan.   
I hope you’ll stop in to your county office in the next month or so to take care of FSA business before field work calls.  Enrollment in ARC/PLC is open now.  While you are in the office, we can also take care of  important changes in your farm records, including updating addresses and banking information. Those may seem like minor details, but if they aren’t correct, it can hold up program benefit payments to you later in the year.
Our Wisconsin offices are also busy helping producers finalize their financing.  FSA has many loan options available, including the joint financing option explained below.  If you have questions about securing credit, please stop in now to begin a conversation with our dedicated farm loan staff.
Take care and stay safe.
Sandy Chalmers
