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. Hispanic and women farmers who believe they have faced
discriminatory practices from the USDA must file a claim by March 25, 2013 in
order to have a chance to receive a cash payment or loan forgiveness. The
opening of this claims process is part of USDA's ongoing efforts to correct the
wrongs of the past and ensure fair treatment to all current and future
customers. Call center representatives can be reached at 1-888-508-4429.
Claimants must register for a claims package (by calling the number or visiting
the website). Those interested in
learning more or receiving information about the claims process and claims
packages are encouraged to attend meetings in your communities about the claims
process and contact the website or claims telephone number.

manage woodlands or improve wildlife habitat? You may be eligible for funding
