A news release out of Lexington said the Kentucky FSA will consolidate its farm credit teams from 26 to 18, with each team covering a slightly larger region of the state.

Each team will have a larger staff, Jeffery S. Hall, state executive director of FSA, said, "but each team will serve a larger area."

Loan specialists will schedule office hours at local FSA offices, he said. he said.help with loan paperwork, he said.
