    Who Can Make a farmers.gov Account?

    • Beginning farmers and ranchers can get help from USDA starting or growing their operations with a variety of programs and services, from farm loans to crop insurance, and conservation programs to disaster assistance.
    • Customers who need access to entity data (such as an LLC or Trust) or to act on behalf of another customer, must first login as themselves, with their own eAuth account.
    • Individuals with both an eAuth account and representative authority to act on behalf of another customer (entity or individual), will have the ability to ‘Switch Profiles’ after login. "Switch Profile" is available for active representative authority relationships. For example, an active FSA-211, Power of Attorney, on file in your local service center. Click "Switch Profile" in the gold banner to view active profiles and switch to another individual or entity in farmers.gov.

    Create a farmers.gov Account

    To access your farmers.gov account, you will need an individual customer USDA eAuthentication (eAuth) account linked to your USDA Business Partner (BP) customer record.

    USDA eAuthentication (eAuth) is the system used by USDA agencies to enable individual customers to obtain accounts that will allow them to securely access USDA Web applications and services via the Internet.

    A USDA Business Partner (BP) Customer Record includes basic customer information like your name, main address, primary communication data, legal representative authority relationships, and other notes.
