Important Public Meeting

Knox-Lincoln FSA Office consolidation/
Warren Service Center closure

Wednesday, Feb 1 at 2pm
Knox-Lincoln Cooperative Extension
377 Manktown Road, Waldoboro (map)

Maine Farm Service Agency (FSA) is holding a public meeting on Feb 1 at 2pm at the Knox-Lincoln Cooperative Extension to take public comment on the proposed consolidation of the Knox-Lincoln FSA office with the Kennebec FSA office and closure of the Warren Service Center. This is the only meeting that will be held to take public comment! Currently, neither the Knox-Lincoln FSA nor the Knox-Lincoln Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offices are being staffed. FSA is serving Knox-Lincoln producers from the Kennebec office; NRCS is serving Knox producers from Waldo and Lincoln producers from Kennebec. The Conservation District, historically co-located with NRCS, now must find a new home and adapt to our cooperators being served from disparate locations.

This is your opportunity to show support for Knox-Lincoln farmers!

Producers may also provide written comment to be received no later than Feb 11, 2012:
Email: don.todd@me.usda.gov or
USPS: Donovan Todd, 967 Illinois Avenue, Bangor, ME 04401

All public comments will be taken into full consideration prior to development or implementation of a final consolidation plan. For more information, contact Maine State Farm Service Agency at 207-990-9140.
