FSA Pushes Loans & Information To Farmers

The Farm Service Agency launches new ways to push commodity and loan information to farmers. The USDA agency has configured its web information for smart phones and tablets. And it is starting a news service for critical program information using GovDelivery subscriptions. Michael Scuse, acting under secretary for farm and foreign agricultural services, says farmers will be able to access data such as posted county prices and loan deficiency payment rates on their smart phones. The effort is part of USDA's Blueprint for Stronger Service, introduced in January by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
