Welcome to the Montana State Farm Service Agency (FSA) website.
I am excited to assume my duties as the State Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency in Montana. In every state the agricultural community is unique and has varied needs and concerns and my role, will be to work with USDA to ensure the needs of Montana agricultural producers are met.
Our primary mission at FSA is to assist Montana farmers and ranchers secure the greatest possible benefit from programs administered by FSA such as farm loans, commodity price support, disaster relief, conservation, or other available resources.
The hard working men and women of Montanas 49 FSA county offices are at the forefront of our efforts and remain the primary contact for program participation. We encourage you to speak with the staff at your local FSA office on how we can be of service. Our user friendly web site can help you learn more about FSA programs and services and help you locate your local FSA Service Center. Best Wishes, Bruce Nelson, State Executive Director
