FSA is at the forefront of providing services farmers have come to trust, in order to compliment their operations in times of plenty and brace their operations during times of economic insecurity.

Maryland farmers received $65.2 million in Commodity Credit Corporation program benefits in 2006. These benefits consist of payments from a variety of Farm Programs including Price Support, Disaster and Conservation Programs.
