President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act addresses longstanding discrimination in farm loan programs, ensuring fair access to federal support for farmers and ranchers. This action empowers them to sustain their livelihoods, contribute to economic growth, and achieve their dreams.
Statement from President Joe Biden on the Inflation Reduction Act’s Assistance for Producers Who Experienced Discrimination
Farmers and ranchers work around the clock to put food on our tables and steward our Nation’s land. But for too long, many farmers and ranchers experienced discrimination in farm loan programs and have not had the same access to federal resources and support. I promised to address this inequity when I became President. Today that promise has become a reality. My Inflation Reduction Act took a bold step to address the effects of discrimination in farming and ranching, and today’s action will enable more farmers and ranchers to support themselves and their families, help grow the economy, and pursue their dreams.
