Farm Loan Program services include:
- Processing payments made on or before December 31, 2018
- Continuing expiring financing statements
- Responding to general loan inquires
- Opening mail to identify priority items
Although Farm Program services such as the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) will not be administered, producers are encouraged to email their application to their FSA county directors. Processing MFP applications will resume when normal operations resume following the end of the government shutdown. Those who have successfully applied for MFP and certified their 2018 production by December 28th should have received payment.
