Hello Again!
Do you like to travel and work outdoors at your own pace? Then this just may be the perfect job for you! The USDA Ohio Farm Service Agency (FSA) is seeking qualified individuals with knowledge of field crops and specialty crops interested in becoming Independent Crop Loss Adjustment Contractors for FSA.

Interested individuals should submit a resume and a brief written summary of their agricultural background and mail the information to the address listed below. Packages must be received by May 1, 2013. Contact: Ohio FSA State office, Attn: Matt Kleski, 200 North High Street, Room 540, Columbus, OH 43215

That’s all for now,
FSA Andy
