USDA Closes Down Multiple Service Centers Due To COVID-19

The US Department of Agriculture is restricting in-person visits for service centers in Illinois due to high levels of COVID-19 throughout the state, however, the USDA will still continue to assist producers with programs and services. 

USDA is using data to determine which Service Centers will remain open for in-person appointments and fieldwork will continue with necessary social distancing.

 

State Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Illinois, William Graff, says that many Service Centers will be physically closed but they remain open for business. Members from FSA and NRCS will continue to work with producers by phone, email, and digital systems like Microsoft Teams and OneSpan.  Producers can get more information by visiting www.farmers.gov/mydocs.

 

If you need a Service Center Agency, call ahead to confirm and schedule appointments. You can find out the status on a particular Service Center Agency by visiting www.farmers.gov/coronavirus/service-center-status.
