I am caring for my aging parents on their farm and also trying to keep the operation running. I feel overwhelmed and isolated. How can I begin the process of getting help with the work on the farm?

For assistance with your farm or ranch work, many farming and ranching communities are close and have a network of help in the area. A quick conversation with another farmer or rancher may prove helpful. In each state there are county farm (agriculture) agents who will have additional helpful information.

You can also contact the Farm Service Agency at www.fsa.usda.gov. There are a number of helpful links on the agency's homepage to connect you with your local state office. You can start by clicking on “Contact Us” and then “Visit Your State Office.”
