USDA Farm Service Agency SD - South Dakota FSA eNews Updates Update - USDA Settlements and Claims Adjudication Process

You are subscribed to SD - South Dakota FSA eNews Updates for USDA Farm Service Agency.

The Obama Administration has made it a priority to resolve all of the large civil rights cases at USDA.  In 2010, USDA entered into a settlement with black farmers to address pending claims and finalized a historic settlement agreement with Native American farmers who claim to have faced discrimination in past decades.  In February 2011, USDA announced a claims resolution process being offered that would turn the page on claims of discrimination made by Hispanic and Women farmers and ranchers who show they faced discrimination in the past
