The New York Times, August 12, 2022, Climate and Tax Bill Rewrites Embattled Black Farmer Relief Program
A $4 billion program to help Black and other “socially disadvantaged” farmers that never got off the ground last year amid legal objections will be replaced with a plan to make relief funds available to farmers who have faced discrimination.
To circumvent legal objections, the new law will provide aid to farmers who have faced discrimination, regardless of their race.
