About This Episode
Recorded at about 11 a.m. Central on February 10, 2023, this is a two-minute alert rather than an interview. Shay Foulk wanted the message out the same morning: FSA form CCC-860 exists, it carries a lot of verbiage, and a producer who might qualify should look it up rather than read past it. He frames it as a follow-up to CFAP 2.
Foulk names the categories FSA uses - beginning farmers, women in agriculture, veteran farmers, and others classified as socially disadvantaged - and is deliberately loose on the last, noting the definition is the government's to make rather than his. His instruction is to look the form up as soon as the episode ends, fill it out, get it to the county FSA office, and call that office with anything unclear. He had heard a rumor that morning that the window might be extended, but says plainly he cannot confirm it. No payment figures are given.
“If you're a beginning farmer, woman in agriculture, veteran farmer, or other programs that are labeled as socially disadvantaged, however the government wants to define that, there's a form out there.”

Shay: Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Ag View Pitch. This is Shay Foulk here today, February 10th. This is about 11 AM Central Time, so hopefully we're getting this out timely enough. I just had a quick message here on CCC Form 860 FSA. There's a lot of verbiage and a lot of stuff that goes into it. Essentially If you're a beginning farmer, woman in agriculture, veteran farmer, or other programs that are labeled as socially disadvantaged, however the government wants to define that, there's a form out there. It's kind of a follow-up to CFAP 2, but you may qualify. I highly recommend when you're done listening to this, look up the form if you haven't already, get it filled out, get it to your FSA office, give them a call. There could be some, some benefit here. Heard rumors this morning that it's maybe getting extended a little bit.
Not sure if that's true or not, but just want to make sure that you all are aware of it. If you got further questions or need anything from me, feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email here. Anyways, have a great day.
