If you are a woman or
Hispanic farmer and believe that 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 that they were discriminated against when seeking
USDA farm loans.
