To encourage urban and small-scale innovative farming practices, the Farm Service Agency is implementing increased flexibility for farm programs. With this plan, acreage as small as two-and-a-half by two-and-a-half inches is allowed. Crops grown in multi-level or vertical production systems were cited as an example. USDA has urban service centers staffed by FSA and NRCS personnel in 17 major cities.
