Time Running out For Farm Help

December 29, 2010

Florida Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Tim Manning reminds producers that if they want a Market Assistance Loan (MAL) before the end of the year, they should contact the county office immediately.

FSA offices need time to process the loan and prepare the loan documents.  MAL’s are marketing tools available to producers to allow for a more orderly marketing of commodities throughout the year.

MALs are available for the crops of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton, long grain rice, medium grain rice, soybeans, other oilseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed), dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, large chickpeas, graded wool, non graded wool, mohair, honey and peanuts.

Additional information about MALs and LDPs are available at the county office or on line at www.fsa.usda.gov.
