Five Ohio Farm Service Agency offices, including two in the Dayton region, will close under a new cost-cutting proposal by the United States Department of Agriculture. 

Local FSA offices slated for closure include Clark County, which would be consolidated with Madison County FSA office in London, and Montgomery County, which would be consolidated with the Preble County FSA office in Eaton. 

A public meeting in each affected county will be held within the next 30 days, but the day, time and locations of those meetings has yet to be released. 

The cuts are party of a recent department-wide review of operations conducted as part of a campaign to cut waste. 

Other Ohio FSA offices that are being proposed for closure include: 

• Carroll County, which would be consolidated with the Tuscarawas County FSA office in New Philadelphia;

• Meigs County, which would be consolidated with the Gallia/Lawrence County FSA office in Gallipolis; and

• Perry County, which would be consolidated with the Fairfield County FSA office in Lancaster.
