Continuous CRP (Signup 66)
FSA is accepting new continuous CRP offers from interested landowners through May 1, 2026 for batch two. For more information contact Madeline Jones at the Marshall County FSA Office.
CRP Participant Reminders
CRP establishment activities must be completed by the deadline specified in your approved conservation plan and FSA-848. Now is a great time to start planning and scheduling establishment activities for the year, i.e. new seeding. Practice establishment that is not completed timely could be determined to be a violation of the CRP Contract terms and conditions as outlined in the CRP-1 appendix. In very limited circumstances an extension of time may be allowed to complete required establishment activities, however, you must make a request in writing to the FSA CED/COC. Please remember to keep track of those required activities completed for potential cost-share purposes and inspections. Please call the office if you have any questions or concerns about completing these scheduled actions by the deadline specified in your approved plan and FSA-848.
Marshall County is Eligible for Emergency Loans
Marshall County was declared a PRIMARY disaster due to 2025 summer flooding that occurred from July 21, 2025 to August 19, 2025. Under this designation, if you have operations in any primary or contiguous county, you are eligible to apply for low interest emergency loans.
Emergency loans help you recover from production and physical losses due to drought, flooding and other natural disasters or quarantine.
You have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for emergency loan assistance. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. You can borrow up to 100 percent of actual production or physical losses, to a maximum amount of $500,000.
For more information about emergency loans, contact the loan office servicing Marshall County in Brown County USDA Service Center at 605-226-3360 ext. 2, or visit fsa.usda.gov.
