Notice to Hispanic and/or Women Farmers and Ranchers
If you are a woman or Hispanic farmer and believe you were improperly denied
farm loan benefits by USDA between 1981 and 2000, you may be eligible for
compensation. Earlier this year, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Assistant
Attorney General Tony West announced the establishment of a process to resolve
the claims of Hispanic and women farmers and ranchers who assert they were
discriminated against when seeking USDA farm loans.
