Historic Financial Assistance
The Biden-Harris Administration’s initiative, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, is a significant step towards addressing centuries of discrimination faced by Black farmers. This financial assistance aims to provide a lifeline to those who have been unfairly denied access to USDA lending and safety net programs.

A chorus of praise has erupted from leaders nationwide. Senators like Cory Booker, Reverend Raphael Warnock, and Debbie Stabenow, as well as Representatives David Scott, Shontel Brown, Alma Adams, and Troy A. Carter Sr., have applauded the move towards equity and fairness in agriculture.
Long Journey Towards Rebuilding Trust
The Discrimination Financial Assistance Program, securing .2 billion for Black farmers and ranchers, is seen as a crucial step in rebuilding trust between the USDA and historically marginalized communities. This effort is expected to revitalize opportunities for farmers and contribute to the economic growth of the country.
A Historic Moment
With such widespread support and a clear commitment from the Biden-Harris Administration, this initiative marks a historic moment in the fight against systemic inequalities and discrimination in agriculture. It sets a new tone for the future, aiming to make the field of agriculture more inclusive and accessible to people from all backgrounds.
