FSA supports producers financially through farm loans, and price support, conservation, and disaster assistance programs. Of specific interest to sheep producers would be the wool marketing assistance loans, livestock disaster assistance, farm loans and rural youth loans. The rural youth loans are great for financing 4H and FFA projects.
