The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will be conducting its annual County Committee election in November 2017. FSA County Committees represent farmers in their local communities and make decisions on crop bases and yields, commodity loans, conservation programs, disaster payments and other federal farm assistance programs. The current County Committee consists of 3 members elected from 3 Local Administrative Areas (LAA’s). The LAA that is up for election this year in McKenzie County is LAA #2, which encompasses the middle third of the county.
We encourage all producers to take an active role in voting for the candidate of their choice. Ballots will be mailed to eligible voters in LAA #2 on November 6th. The final date to return completed ballots or have your ballots postmarked is December 4th. The newly elected member will take office in January. Please watch your mail for the ballots, and be sure to vote!
