ATHENS – U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Georgia State Executive Director Arthur Tripp recently hosted a workshop in Tifton for Georgia’s citrus producers. During the roundtable discussion, Tripp, FSA staff and representatives from USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service provided producers with an in-depth overview of available federal farm resources including farm loans, risk protection, disaster assistance and conservation programs.
“Citrus production is one of the fastest-growing agricultural industries in Georgia, and it’s incredibly important for us build relationships with the producers in this emerging industry,” Tripp said. “From disaster assistance to providing access to capital, we look forward to supporting these producers as they pursue their agricultural goals.”
