Webinar: USDA Farm Service Agency Program Tools to Assist Producers During the COVID-19 Pandemic (April 23, 2020)

With Ben Herink, Farm Loan Program Specialist, and Doug Klein, Price Support and Conservation Program Chief, USDA Nebraska Farm Service Agency State Office. USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Nebraska remains open for business across the state, using phone, email, mail and fax communication to deliver program services to farmers and ranchers while in-person access to offices is limited. The agency is offering some program flexibilities during this time to aid producers, including relaxing some processes within the farm loan program and extending the maturity deadline for commodity crop marketing loans. These changes are designed to assist producers with cash flow during a challenging time for marketing crops and livestock.
