The nomination period for the local Farm Service Agency County Committee Election begins June 15, 2022 and ends August 1, 2022. Elections across Indiana will take place this fall.
Locally, elections will be held in the following Local Administrative Areas (LAA):
- LAA 3- Harrison County (Franklin and Harrison Townships)
- LAA 5- Floyd County
Agricultural producers may nominate themselves or others as candidates. Organizations that represent minority and women farmers may also nominate candidates. Nominees must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the LAA in which the person is a candidate. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign nomination form FSA-669A. This form is available at the local FSA county office and online at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
The County Committee system is unique within the U.S. government and it ensures fair and equitable administration of FSA farm programs. It is important for the CC to be representative of all agricultural producers in the area, including women, minorities, and beginning farmers.
If you have any questions about the nomination process or FSA programs, please feel free to contact Jennifer Anderson, FSA County Executive Director, at 812-738-8121.
