Whether you’re looking to launch a new farming operation or strengthen an existing one, creating a farmers.gov account is a smart first step to accessing USDA resources. The farmers.gov portal is designed to streamline the way producers connect with USDA programs, from applying for loans and tracking farm records to requesting conservation assistance.

To access all features, including secure online forms and loan tools, you’ll need to set up an account through Login.gov and verify your identity. Once linked to your FSA customer record, you can manage nearly all aspects of your relationship with USDA—from anywhere, anytime.

For first-time users, farmers.gov makes it easy to submit your customer information online, speeding up your first visit to a local USDA service center. The platform also offers tools like the Farm Loan Assistance Tool, Disaster Assistance Tool, and Conservation Concerns Tool to help you prepare for conversations with FSA and NRCS staff.
