Our primary mission at FSA is to help Missouri farmers and ranchers secure the greatest possible benefit from programs such as farm loans, commodity price support, disaster relief, conservation, food aid or other available resources.

FSA employees are dedicated to improving the economic stability of Missouri agriculture one family at a time, and insuring that rural Missouri remains a great place to raise the next generation of Missourians.

The hard working men and women of Missouri's 98 FSA county offices are atthe forefront of our efforts and remain the primary contact for program participation. I encourage you to speak with the staff at your local office on how we can be of service. Our user friendly web site can help you learn more about FSA programs and services and help you locate your local FSA Service Center.

I also invite you to send me your comments, suggestions and ideas. You can reach me at (573) 876-0925

The calculator and instructions linked below are for informational purposes only. This calculator in no way binds FSA to potential payments under SURE and should not be relied on to make management decisions. This is a tool that producers and others may use in familiarizing themselves with SURE calculations and allows them to run various scenarios based on basic levels of insurance coverage versus buy up levels of insurance coverage. It is important to note that this calculator only addresses yield based crops and does not address value loss crops or those plans of insurance that are revenue based, including but not limited to, AGR or AGR Lite. It does not include calculations for situations such as prevented planting, first crop-second crop, and several other scenarios. The calculator does not test for production loss.
