The Farm Service Agency, or FSA, is a part of the USDA that helps farmers get credit through direct loans and loan guarantees.
The Farm Service Agency is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers federal farm loan programs, including direct and guaranteed lending, under rules set by USDA.
FSA programs can help producers who don't qualify for conventional credit alone. Eligibility and terms are set by USDA and change, so confirm current rules with the FSA.
A beginning farmer might explore an FSA program after a conventional lender alone can't extend the needed credit.
