County committee members play a key role at
FSA. Over 7,000 members nationwide provide their valuable
knowledge and judgment on decisions made about FSA services,
including disaster and emergency programs.
To be counted, ballots must be returned to the local FSA county
office or postmarked by December 2.
Each committee has three elected members who serve three-year
terms of office. One-third of county committee seats are up for
election each year. Newly elected committee members will take
office January 1, 2020. County committee members help FSA make
important decisions on its commodity support programs,
conservation programs, indemnity and disaster programs, and
emergency programs and eligibility.
Producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program to be
eligible to vote in the county committee election. Producers who
supervise and conduct the farming operations of an entire farm,
but are not of legal voting age, also may be eligible to vote.
Producers can find out if their local administrative area is up
for election and if they are eligible to vote by contacting
their local FSA county office. Eligible voters who did not
receive a ballot in the mail can pick one up at their local FSA
county office. Visit fsa.usda.gov/elections for more
information.
