WHEATLAND — Farmers and ranchers have until Aug. 1 to nominate eligible candidates to serve on local U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency county committees, according to a news release issued July 19 by Wheatland FSA.
County committees are made up of farmers and ranchers elected by other producers in their communities to guide the delivery of farm programs at the local level. Committee members play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of FSA.
“The Aug. 1 deadline is quickly approaching,” USDA FSA executive director for Platte County Pamela Metz said. “If you know of a great candidate or want to nominate yourself to serve on your local county committee, visit your FSA office before the deadline to submit the nomination form. I especially encourage the nomination of beginning farmers and ranchers, as well as women and minorities. This is your opportunity to have a say in how federal programs are delivered in your county.”
