The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has mailed ballots for
the Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committee elections to
eligible farmers and ranchers across the country. To be counted,
ballots must be returned to the Logan County FSA office or
postmarked by Feb. 2, 2026.
Each committee is comprised of three to 11 elected members who
serve three-year terms.
Newly elected committee members will take office March 2, 2026.
Logan County committee members play a key role in how FSA
delivers disaster recovery, safety-net, conservation, commodity
and price support programs, as well as making decisions on
county office employment and other FSA program delivery issues.
Dennis Ramlow has been nominated and is running in the election
in LAA 1, which includes Broadwell, Corwin, Orvil, Prairie
Creek, Sheridan, and West Lincoln townships in Logan County.
Dennis is nominated to serve as a committee member for a 3-year
term. He started farming in 1987 and has raised hogs for 45
years. He is also a board member for Burtonview Coop.
Dennis is willing to serve if elected.

To be eligible to vote in the county
committee elections, producers must participate or cooperate in a
USDA program and be assigned to the LAA that is up for election.
Each year, at least one Local Administrative Area (LAA) in each COC
jurisdiction is up for election on a three-year rotation, and each
producer is assigned to vote in a single LAA. A cooperating producer
is someone who has provided information about their farming or
ranching operation to FSA, even if they have not applied or received
program benefits.
Producers can identify LAAs up for election through a geographic
information system locator tool available at
fsa.usda.gov/elections and may confirm their LAA by contacting
their local FSA office. Eligible voters who do not receive a ballot
in the mail can request one from the Logan County FSA office or call
(217) 357-2188 ext. 2. |
