The Farm Service Agency has established the office of Minority and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers Assistance (MSDA), to work with minority and socially disadvantaged farmers who have concerns and questions about loan applications filed with local offices.
The USDA Minority Farm Register is a tool to promote equal access to USDA farm programs and services for minority farmland owners, farmers, ranchers, tenants, and other individuals with an agricultural interest. Participants may receive information or be personally contacted through USDA outreach efforts. USDA programs include direct and guaranteed farm ownership and operating loans, marketing loans, as well as conservation, housing & rural business, and risk management.
Participation in the Register is voluntary. All minority persons involved in farming or ranching are encouraged to participate. The information you provide may be shared through the USDA Office of Outreach with other USDA-approved outreach partners such as community-based organizations, educational institutions, and other government agencies.
If you are involved with farming or ranching and wish to be included in the Minority Farm Register, you are invited to complete this form and mail it to:
Minority Farm Register USDA Stop Code 0503 1400 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC 20250-0503
Only name, address, signature, and date are required for participation.
