What Is This Program?

FSA is establishing a national Distressed Borrowers Technical Assistance network. This initiative will provide individualized support to financially distressed borrowers through Cooperative Agreements. By connecting key farm support organizations that have expertise in working with financially distressed and underserved farming communities, with the extensive resources and technical assistance networks of land grant partners, we are creating a robust support network of knowledgeable and compassionate 1:1 service providers who are dedicated to helping farmers and ranchers overcome significant financial hardships and barriers. This network not only aids farmers and ranchers directly, but also enhances the capacity of farm service providers across the non-profit and land grant service provider landscape to offer individualized assistance and support.
