The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, August 9 at 2:00pm EDT to provide information about the Farm Storage Facility Loan program and the expansions and improvements that have been made to it over the past two years. Register for the webinar here.

Farm Storage Facility Loans are financed through FSA and provide low interest loans to qualified producers to build or upgrade on-farm storage and handling facilities. Traditionally, these loans have provided financing for commodity grain growers’ storage bins and single-vegetable storage, such as potato storage.
In recent years, however, thanks to recommendations, encourageme

nt and outreach by the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) and others, the program has greatly expanded access to loans for small, diversified farming operations.
