Wisconsin Farmer Again Challenges USDA Program Rules as Discriminatory
12th April 2025
The U.S. Department of Agriculture continues to discriminate in many of its programs, according to a new letter from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.
Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty wrote the letter telling the USDA that it will file a lawsuit if the issue is not corrected within 60 days.
Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty represents Chilton farmer Adam Faust, stating that Faust is not eligible to benefit from a dozen USDA race-based programs because he is a white farmer.
“USDA offers important resources for dairy farmers, including margin coverage, loan guarantees and grants,” Faust said. “But it is outrageous that some farmers get a better deal based on race. I am hopeful the Trump Administration will change course and fix these discriminatory programs.”
Faust previously successfully challenged USDA rules for programs under President Joe Biden’s administration through Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.
