Welcome to the Pennsylvania Farm Service Agency's home on the web. With over 7.8 million acres of farmland, 58,000 farms, and $1.9 billion in agriculture exports annually, Pennsylvania has a thriving and vibrant 'ag' industry. FSA service centers located throughout the Commonwealth deliver a number of congressionally authorized credit and commodity programs to all of Pennsylvania's farmers and producers. By administering these programs, FSA works to not only increase economic opportunity, but more importantly improve the quality of life within rural communities.

A professional and courteous staff of over 200 full-time employees work diligently in support of the FSA mission: equitably serving all farmers, ranchers and producers, and agricultural partners through the delivery of effective, efficient agricultural programs for all Americans. Founded on USDA's long-standing core values of strong ethics, customer service, team work, inclusive decision-making, and fiscal responsibility, this is the Pennsylvania FSA's commitment to you - the agricultural community within the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
