Hispanic and Women Farmers Can Seek Compensation to Resolve Discrimination Claims
Lexington, KY, August 2, 2011- If you are a female farmer or rancher or a Hispanic farmer or rancher and you believe that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) improperly denied farm loan benefits to you for certain time periods between 1981 and 2000 because of your gender or race, you may be eligible to apply for compensation. "We want all producers in Kentucky who may be eligible to have the opportunity to participate in this claims process," said John W. McCauley, Kentucky Farm Service Agency State Executive Director.
Potential claimants can register to receive a claims package by calling the Farmer and Rancher Call Center at 1-888-508-4429 or visiting www.farmerclaims.gov. Claimants have until August 25, 2011, to register to receive a claims package.
Contact your local FSA Service Center for addition information.
