Peter Doyle has served on the Fremont County Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committee in Iowa for nearly four years. He was appointed chairperson a year ago.
“My county executive director called me and asked if joining the county committee would be something I’d be interested in. I’m glad I joined,” he said. “It’s very informative. It put me more in the know of what other farmers are going through. It gives you the opportunity to be a voice and help someone else.”
County committee members are elected by their peers and are a direct link between the agricultural community and USDA. Committee members are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level. Farmers who serve on committees help decide the kind of programs their counties will offer and work to make FSA agricultural programs serve the needs of local producers.
Growing up on a farm, Doyle has been around agriculture his entire life. He partnered with his father, James, nine years ago and they both operate 4,000 acres of no-till corn and soybeans.
“It’s what I’ve always wanted to do,” he said.
