USDA Talks FSA

Everybody wants the government to save money. And everybody wants cuts to affect someone else.
Still – some decisions make sense and others don't.

To the 120 or so people at a public meeting yesterday afternoon with USDA officials, the proposed closing of the Union County Farm Services Agency in Creston just doesn't make sense. Creston is the undisputed livestock and grain hub of the region, and for most producers traveling to another county would mean two trips when time is money (and so is fuel).

There are currently 1,472 producers in Union County, who would be served by Adams County, unless they specify another preference.
