USDA Farm Number: With a farm number you can apply for FSA farm loans, disaster assistance, and crop insurance as well as for conservation programs through NRCS. If you purchased land, it might already be established with FSA and have a farm number. Find your local Farm Service Agency (FSA) and call them to make an appointment to register your farm.
Find your local USDA service center.
