RE: Notice to Hispanic or Women Farmers and Ranchers:  Compensation for Claims of Discrimination

 

We would appreciate the distribution of this notice to individuals or groups might benefit from this notice.  If they believe that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) improperly denied farm loan benefits to the individual or group between 1981 and 2000 because you are Hispanic, or because you are female, they may be eligible to apply for compensation.  We have enclosed an English and Hispanic version of the Summary Notice and Fact Sheet.

 

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and assistance.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Vernon M. Fuller at 863.420.4833 or email: vernon.fuller@fl.usda.gov.

 

Sincerely,
