FSA elections underway
Nancy Johner, Nebraska FSA executive director, announced the
USDA has begun mailing ballots to eligible agricultural producers
for the 2018 county committee elections. Producers must return
ballots to their local FSA offices by Dec. 3 to ensure their vote
is counted.
"County committee members represent the farmers, ranchers
and foresters in our Nebraska communities," said Johner.
"Producers elected to these committees have always played
a vital role in local agricultural decisions. It is a valued partnership
that helps us better understand the needs of the farmers and ranchers
we serve."
Nearly 7,700 FSA county committee members serve FSA offices nationwide.
Each committee has three to 11 elected members who serve three-year
terms of office. One-third of county committee seats are up for
election each year. County committee members apply their knowledge
and judgment to help FSA make important decisions on its commodity
support programs, conservation programs, indemnity and disaster
programs, emergency programs and eligibility.
Johner said producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA
program to be eligible to vote in the county committee election.
Farmers and ranchers who supervise and conduct the farming operations
of an entire farm, but are not of legal voting age, may also be
eligible to vote.
Farmers and ranchers began receiving their ballots this week.
Ballots include the names of candidates running for the local
committee election. Voters who did not receive a ballot can pick
one up at their local FSA office. Ballots returned by mail must
be postmarked no later than Dec. 3. Newly elected committee members
will take office Jan. 1.
For more information, visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
You also may contact your local USDA Service Center or FSA office.
