Update on Logan County Farm Service Agency Operations

There is now an enacted Fiscal Year 2014 continuing resolution that provides funding for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA). We are in the process of an orderly start-up of farm program activities. Thank you for your patience and support during the period that our services were unavailable.

We realize that the temporary lapse in service has delayed many of the annual payments that you were expecting.  Our office is currently in the process of issuing the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) payments to all eligible participants.  We are hopeful that 2013 annual DIRECT payments will soon follow; however, at this time we do NOT have an expected date of issuance. 

Please remember that all FSA payments should be electronically transferred into your bank account if you have direct deposit information on file, and you will receive a statement from Kansas City after the payment has been issued to your account. For anyone that does not have direct deposit information on file, paper checks will be issued from Kansas City and will arrive via the postal service. 

Thank you again for your patience during this period.
