Farm Services Agency Moving To Jay To Better Serve Escambia, Santa Rosa Producers
July 24, 2014
The USDA Farm Services Agency in Milton will soon make the move to Jay to better serve agricultural producers in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
The new Jay FSA Office will be located in the former Bank of America Building at 3927 Highway 4. There’s no target date yet for the move, but renovations to the new office are expected to take about 90 days.
In November 2012, the USDA Farm Service Agency in Molino was closed, meaning a 50 to 55 mile trip for some Escambia County producers to the next nearest FSA office in Milton.
“With the majority of the farming in both Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties located in the northern portion of the counties, moving the FSA Office to Jay will reduce the travel time for the producers in both counties by approximately 25 miles as Jay is centrally located between the Escambia and the Santa Rosa farming community,” Florida FSA State Executive Director Tim Manning said during a producer meeting in 2013.
The group met at the time with Congressman Jeff Miller to express their desire to move the FSA Office to Jay as the search was underway for a location.
