FSA direct loans provide critical financing opportunities for farmers who are unable to obtain credit elsewhere. Continuing with the FSA Direct Loan Application training from the April Network Gathering, this webinar from June 2026 will walk participants through the key components of the direct loan application process, including financial records, business planning, and other documents commonly required by lenders. Participants will also gain practical insights into helping producers prepare for lender conversations and understand similarities between FSA and traditional agricultural lending. The training was by Terrick Boley of Boley AgriCapital.
