Okay, I need some help here from all of you.

1. Are any of you registered with FSA? In other words do you have a farm number?
2. If the answer is yes, how many acres do you have in production/pasture/total?

Here is the deal....FSA is so far refusing me a farm number because I am a small producer even though I have exceeded the dollar figure. I have been fighting this battle since February and I do not want to be shut out of all Farm Bill research funding. I am meeting with my state senator soon and want to have some ammo in my pocket. Fighting the million acre ranching mentality out here is truly a challenge but I know that other small producers exist that have taken this road! Thanks in advance for your input.
