USDA Invests $4.7 Million in Assistance to Historically Underserved Farmers and Ranchers

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 17:00:28 CDT

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced an investment of $4.7 million to establish partnerships with organizations to provide outreach and technical assistance to historically underserved farmers and ranchers. The partnerships will support participation in Farm Service Agency programs, including those that are part of USDA's Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative.?

Fifty-six project proposals, covering all states and territories, are being finalized to assist historically underserved farmers and ranchers in accessing FSA programs. Programs include outreach for pandemic assistance programs, including the signup re-opening of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 (CFAP 2). These proposals will also assist in outreach for FSA's farm programs, conservation programs, farm loans, county committee elections, disaster programs, the Heirs' Property Relending Program, heirs' property succession planning and the Agricultural Marketing Service's Pandemic Response and Safety Grant program.

"Of the 56 selected proposals, 2 will directly impact farmers and ranchers in Oklahoma," said Janlyn Hannah, Acting State Executive Director for FSA in Oklahoma. "These partnerships will provide important technical assistance, outreach and education and will equip farmers and ranchers with the resources needed to access and participate in FSA's programs and services."

The organizations and projects impacting Oklahoma include:

- Oklahoma Women in Ag Association providing support on CFAP2, Farm Ownership, and other programs in Oklahoma, Seminole, Tulsa, Pottawatomie, Hughes, Canadian, Kingfisher, Caddo, Grady, Blaine, Tillman, Harmon and Cotton counties.
- Intertribal Agriculture Council Inc. providing support on CFAP2, farm enrollment, pandemic relief funding programs, and completing 2047s in 270 tribal reservations covered by network.
