Many grain storage upgrades are important, even if they don’t qualify for this year's cost-share program. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) has an FSA Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (FSFL) to access low-interest financing for building or upgrading facilities to store commodities. Read this FSFL Fact Sheet for more information or contact your local FSA office for details.
