The Local Administrative Area (LAA) that is up for election is LAA #1 which includes the townships of Turkey Creek, Steinauer, Clear Creek, and Table Rock. To be eligible to serve on a Farm Service Agency county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election, and reside in the local administrative area in which the person is a candidate. Producers may nominate themselves or others and organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates.
