Participation in Farm Service Agency (FSA) programs requires an individual to register their land with the FSA, which can be confusing sometimes to a beginning farmer and rancher.

In February, Flower Hill Institute coordinated an outreach event in Yakima, Washington, to educate local farmers and producers on federal funding and promote available Farm Service Agency crop insurance programs. Among those who had attended, the Yakama Nation Bison Project was pleasantly surprised to learn about coverage for grassland pastures and alfalfa production.
