Farmers’ Legal Action Group, Inc. and the
National Agricultural Law Center are working with USDA to develop a network of attorneys willing to assist Hispanic and women farmers, either on a pro bono or compensated basis, in completing and submitting claims forms in a non-judicial process designed to resolve past claims of discrimination in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Loan Programs for certain periods between 1981 and 2000. For more information, please see the
USDA’s Attorney Recruitment Notice as well as an article on the National Agricultural Law Center's
blog that provides further explanation.
