USDA Survey & Legal Worker Program

Farm Bureau is collecting feedback from farmers through the USDA Program Survey. The survey focuses on programs from the Farm Service Agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Rural Development. Lisa Benson with Farm Bureau says through the survey, farmers have the opportunity to help improve USDA programs.

BENSON: Our goal here is to learn really what people's experiences are whether they're good, bad or ugly. We want it to be honest feedback and what's wonderful is USDA is asking us for this feedback. They really want to learn how to improve and strengthen their programs.

Results of the survey will be used by AFBF to develop recommendations on how USDA can enhance its programs and make them more useful to farmers and ranchers across the country
