ATHENS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Agricultural producers are invited to attend one of several upcoming Farm Loan Information Sessions to learn more about capital assistance options available to start, expand or enhance an agricultural operation.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Georgia State Executive Director, Arthur Tripp, Jr., alongside FSA staff, will provide an overview of current USDA farm local programs and how to apply.

“It is vital that our producers are aware of the pathways in which the U.S. Department of Agriculture can assist them in meeting their operational goals,” Tripp said. “Our recent information sessions in Southwest Georgia were extremely successful. By replicating these information sessions in other areas of the state, we are helping ensure that producers in Georgia have the information and tools they need to successfully navigate our suite of capital assistance options.”

The free, in-person information sessions are open to the public.

For questions, or if you’re planning to attend, email GAOutreach@USDA.gov to RSVP.
