# [FSA Overview]{.smallcaps}

## A. Mission/Vision

> *FSA Mission:*
>
> To ensure the well-being of American agriculture and the American
> public through efficient and equitable administration of farm
> commodity, farm loan, conservation, environmental, emergency
> assistance, and domestic and international food assistance programs.
>
> *Guiding Principles:*

-   Continue to improve and deliver high quality products and services
    to customers in a professional, consistent and timely manner.

-   Ensure fair and equal access and participation in our programs.

-   Conduct business with honesty and integrity.

-   Care for and protect the environment and promote responsible
    stewardship of natural resources.

-   Be innovative and resourceful in the procurement of and deployment
    of information technology and use available technology effectively.

-   Respect the individual differences and diversity of out workforce.

> *USDA Service Centers Vision Statement;*
>
> We will reach out and deliver programs to customers in a manner that
> is responsive to their needs, treating each with dignity and respect.

## Major Stakeholder Groups

> ***1. Citizens***
>
> Producers receive loans and price supports, emergency assistance, and
> participate in conservation programs administered by FSA in order to
> ensure their viability; of the tens of thousands of loan recipients,
> most are classified as small farmers.
>
> FSA programs are primarily directed at agricultural producers or, in
> the case of farm loans, at those with farming experience. These
> programs help farmers and ranchers produce an adequate food supply,
> maintain viable operations, compete for export sales of commodities in
> the world marketplace, and contribute to the year-round availability
> of a variety of low-cost, safe, and nutritious foods.
>
> One need of the agricultural producers served by FSA is more
> convenient access to and better understanding of FSA services. Farmers
> and ranchers are increasingly connected to the Internet---over 40%
> have access according to a recent NASS study*.* Most are served
> through FSA's 2,500 service centers.

Figure 1: FSA's Citizen Groups and Customers

  -------------------------------------------------- --------------------
  **Major Citizen Group**                            **Estimated Total
                                                     Number Served**

  Farmers/Producers                                  2.2 Million

  -Family size producers having FSA loans            140,500

  -Socially Disadvantaged producers w/ FSA loans     16,500

                                                     
  -------------------------------------------------- --------------------

> ***2. Public and Private Partners***
>
> Through many diverse programs, FSA has established partnerships with
> various public and private partners.
>
> In many cases, the agency works with Land Grant Colleges, advocacy
> groups and other organizations that work directly with the producer.
> These groups assist the producer in completing loan applications and
> partners with the agency in an effort to increase the producer\'s
> chance of success. Because FSA provides credit supervision to its
> borrowers, the agency also has direct contact with agricultural
> suppliers, consultants, and other businesses that do business with our
> borrowers.
>
> Banks and other lenders provide nearly 20,000 FSA-guaranteed loans
> each year; they must interact with both borrower and FSA to service
> their own loans and also meet FSA reporting requirements. Their main
> need is for easier lender interaction with FSA, especially as banks
> administer more farm loans.
>
> The agency also partners with organizations such as Agricultural
> Colleges to provide financial and production management training to
> their borrowers.
>
> Through various conservation programs, FSA works with many state and
> local governments and organizations to target conservation needs, and
> leverage existing benefits.
>
> Thousands of warehouses and distribution companies store and transport
> commodities for FSA as part of price support and commodity donation
> programs; their greatest challenge and need is
> information---especially knowing as far in advance as possible how
> much of their space FSA will use. In addition, FSA provides a
> voluntary licensing program for agricultural warehouse operators.
>
> Private voluntary organizations work with FSA and other USDA agencies
> to procure excess commodities for donation to needy people in the U.S.
> and abroad.

FSA has partnered within USDA with other county based agencies to expand
and streamline customer access to services. FSA has defined a new
business mode, the goals of which is to require migration away from
single agency initiatives to collaborative ventures with the principal
service producers that support common agricultural enterprises. The
principal service providers include sister USDA agencies and Service
Center partners, State and local government entities; and private
enterprises. The business model conveys a "seamless" working environment
where distance between offices and customers is irrelevant.

FSA is migrating to an environment where a greater proportion of
information exchange and transaction processing occurs through off-site
alternates. Key components include: providing farm program information,
availability, and eligibility requirements electronically; providing
on-line information collection and transaction processing capability;
and develop information collection and management partnerships with
State and local agricultural entities and private organizations to
integrate information collection and sharing mechanisms among all
service providers.

## D. Key Challenges

> Improving service delivery is an important challenge for FSA.
> Self-service tools are needed to augment one-on-one contact at Service
> Centers, but fully-automated self-service may difficult to implement;
> the sheer number of FSA programs and the complexity of these programs
> makes online self-servicing difficult to achieve. Finally, integrating
> FSA's customer service and other activities with those of other
> Service Center agencies is important to improving service to farmers
> but is a complex and lengthy task.
