The Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers a number of loan packages for farmers and ranchers who need to borrow money to start, expand, sustain, or make changes to their businesses. As part of the loan agreement, FSA often requires borrowers to complete training in production, financial management, or both. If you are required to complete training as part of your loan agreement, you will have 2 years from loan closing to complete the training.
