Why worry about
the economy? Just claim to be a woman farmer who was discriminated
against. Our tax dollars are being shoveled out to anyone who wants
them.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will pay up to $50,000 each to
female and Hispanic farmers and ranchers who claimed they were
discouraged from applying for USDA loans due to
perceived discrimination. But those farmers won’t be required to prove
that they ever actually farmed.
The payments are part of a settlement agreement reached between the
USDA and North Carolina farmer Timothy Pigford that created a $1.33
billion fund to compensate farmers who say they were discriminated
against by USDA officials between 1981 and 2000. Previous payments have
gone to black and Native American farmers.
The women and Hispanic farmers fund provides different levels of
compensation based on the nature of the alleged discrimination. Tier
1(a), as it’s known,
is comprised of farmers and ranchers “who sought to apply for a USDA
loan but were actively discouraged from submitting an application” due
to perceived discrimination.
