Who are Georgia’s Under-Served?

The NRCS Outreach Division defines underserved customers as:

 Individuals and groups who have not participated in or have received limited  benefits from USDA or NRCS programs which may improve their quality of life  and/or the environment.

Examples of historically under-served or non-traditional farmers include but are not limited to:

• Farmers and landowners/operators with limited resources

• Minority groups (including women and individuals that are physically challenged)

• Small Farmers that farm size less than 10 acres

• Organic Farmers

• Farmers with production practices that are different from most farmers in the area

• Urban Farmers

• Small Ruminate Farmers, such as Goats

• Equine Producers

• Vegetable Farmers

• Anyone that you have not typically provided a service to in the past.
