Interested in working with the USDA’s Farm Service Agency? Start by setting up your FSA customer and farm records. Most FSA programs require these records. Your FSA 'farm number' is actually your farm’s ZIP code. This number puts your land on the USDA’s map and lets you access programs and funding.
Having complete FSA records means you can get disaster assistance and conservation support, and qualify for various programs. With your records on file, FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) can easily confirm your identity, your fields, and your crops. If a flood or freeze happens, you can quickly ask for help without needing to prove your farm exists. These records also make you eligible for cost-share on conservation practices, certain loans, and important updates about signups and deadlines that matter for your business.
