For a quarter century, family-owned agricultural operations have received low-interest financing through USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (FSFL) to enhance their operations through on-farm storage solutions.
Milton Arnett in Green County, Kentucky, has leveraged FSA’s farm storage program to expand his diversified cattle and grain operation, Double R Farms.
“We produce hay as part of our operation. We use that hay to feed our cattle and to sell to other farmers in the area,” Milton said. “The overall cost of production means that putting up hay is a large investment in the operation. So, we must make sure our hay is high quality in order to get the most return on our investment and to get the most nutrient value in our feed.”
