Our primary mission at FSA is to help Missouri farmers and ranchers secure the greatest possible benefit from programs such as farm loans, commodity price support, disaster relief, conservation, food aid or other available resources.

FSA employees are dedicated to improving the economic stability of Missouri agriculture one family at a time, and insuring that rural Missouri remains a great place to raise the next generation of Missourians.

The hard working men and women of Missouri's 98 FSA county offices are atthe forefront of our efforts and remain the primary contact for program participation. I encourage you to speak with the staff at your local 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.

I also invite you to send me your comments, suggestions and ideas. You can reach me at (573) 876-0925

The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans? Care, Katrina Recover, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, provided approximately $3 billion in agricultural disaster aid for Missouri?s farmers and ranchers. The aid will cover crop losses through the Crop Disaster Program and livestock and feed losses through the Livestock Assistance and Livestock Indemnity Programs.

Sign-up for the Livestock Compensation and Livestock Indemnity programs began on September 10, 2007, and sign-up for crop quantity losses through the Crop Disaster Program began on October 15, 2007. A separate sign-up for crop quality losses through the Crop Disaster Program will be announced at a later date.
