The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is a component of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, operating within the government administration sector from Washington, DC. It administers a range of programs and services intended to support U.S. farmers and ranchers, including commodity price support, disaster relief, conservation initiatives, and farm loans. The agency aims to deliver timely and effective assistance to agricultural operations across the nation. Its primary customers are farmers and ranchers who rely on FSA to help manage price stability, respond to disasters, advance conservation goals, and obtain credit for farming operations. As a federal agency, FSA functions within the USDA and participates in the department's broader agricultural support framework. Recent USDA developments, such as the announcement of six international Agribusiness Trade Missions planned for 2026, illustrate the wider policy context in which FSA operates.
