Farm Program Services

With complex FSA regulations and their various interpretations by FSA offices nationwide, keeping up is a full‐time job. That’s why it’s so important to work with a group with years of FSA experience that truly understands the issues and regulations impacting agriculture today. Our team at Kennedy and Coe faces these challenging issues every day, helping producers across the country meet stringent regulations while remaining vital and profitable. A complete library of FSA handbook procedures, coupled with the knowledge and experience of our staff, allows you to integrate your farm program payment eligibility with your tax, financial and estate planning. We’ll help you develop your best options, so you can focus on farming.

Our services include:

Payment eligibility reviews
Farm program payment analyses
Operating structure analyses regarding FSA payment eligibility requirements
In conjunction with other professionals, development of the “best” structure for your business, considering family business goals and objectives as well as taxes, financial and estate planning, and farm program payments
Advice regarding specific program options available each year, and assistance with adverse farm program decisions through appeal at the local, state and federal levels
Resolution of eligibility issues and identification of problem areas of payment eligibility
Assistance with FSA “End‐of‐Year Review” and FSA audits through information gathering, audit response preparation and identification of specific compliance issues
Identification of potential problem areas and suggestions for corrective actions that will protect future farm program payments

Complex program regulations can contribute to the misunderstanding of program requirements and misapplication of procedures by FSA. The professionals at Kennedy and Coe can work with you to determine whether correct FSA procedures have been applied to your circumstances and offer ongoing assistance with your rights of review and appeal.
