Crop Insurance
- Call the Freeborn County FSA office at 507-373-7960 and tell them you would like to pick up your maps.
- When you get to their office call their phone and tell them that you are there and they will deliver your maps to you at the front office entrance outside.
- Take the Maps home and fill out. (Unless you want to fill out in your vehicle)
- Return them by calling the FSA office when you are in the parking lot. They will meet you at the entrance outside to pick up.
- Once they have processed them they will call you to come in and sign. Again, at Front Entrance.
- When you sign the completed FSA paperwork please print the Permission Letter (click here FSA Permission Letter) fill it out and hand to them this letter with your FSA paperwork.
- The FSA office will make an extra copy for our agency and we will pick up at their office
- You can get that copy and drop off in our North Side door (Facing Albert Lea Seed House) and drop in our Overnight Drop Off Slot which can also be used during the day.
- Once we have completed filling out your acreage report we will send out an email for you to review and sign electronically.
