We took a trip to the local USDA Service Center and it turned into one of the most useful days of the year.

This episode walks through what FSA and NRCS actually do, how to get a farm number, why a "Highly Erodible Land" determination isn't something to panic over, and the one form standing between specialty crop growers and a $650/acre payment.

Featuring our local Kentucky USDA team: Robin Hughes, Barbara Meredith, Sandra Childress, and Hallie Armstrong (Farm Service Agency), and Fanny Ye and Robert Bean (Natural Resources Conservation Service).
