and feed dealers, community
development organizations) that could
partner and improve service to joint
customers as well as strengthen their
own business needs?
• What type of consulting service
could be developed to assist existing
borrowers to be more productive and
successful?
• How can the role of a mentor be
expanded beyond microloans?
• What are other methods that an
applicant can successfully prove
experience and managerial ability?
In your comment it will be most
helpful to:
• Explain the proposed pilot project
in as much detail as possible, including
the issue or concern to be addressed and
the intended benefit(s);
• Provide specific examples to
illustrate your points;
• Describe whether the project is
intended to benefit any particular
region, type of agricultural producer
(organic, direct market, wholesale, etc.),
or end customer; and
• Outline any potential costs or costs
savings and the basis for the
assumptions.
At the conclusion of the comment
period, FSA staff will review and
consider all of the suggestions in the
comments.
As required by the 2014 Farm Bill, at
least 60 days before initiating a pilot
project, the Secretary will submit notice
of the proposed pilot project to the
Committee on Agriculture of the House
of Representatives and the Committee
on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry
of the Senate. FSA will also consider
any feedback provided to the Secretary
in response to that notice.
FSA expects to select at least two to
three pilot projects. FSA will announce
the pilot projects through news release.
FSA expects that one of the results of
the pilot project will help expand
service to underserved producers. For
example, in remote areas, such as Indian
Country, distance and travel time make
it extremely difficult to establish the
network of contacts essential for
effective outreach and to provide
technical assistance. FSA lacks the
necessary knowledge and staff resources
to overcome language and cultural
barriers for some minority communities
and provide effective outreach and
technical assistance. In such situations,
partnerships with local organizations
could use existing networks and
expertise to provide effective outreach
and technical assistance and expand
participation. This is one example of
how FSA may carry out some pilot
projects.
