USDA Contract Freezes and Terminations: Legal Action Steps for Farmers with Signed Contracts

This resource is written for farmers and ranchers nationwide who have a signed contract with the USDA but have concerns that their contract is frozen, under review, or terminated, and who are uncertain of their rights to receive reimbursement as well as their ongoing obligations under the signed contract. Version 2 is available below and it replaces Version 1.

Timely, effective legal education requires expertise and time. We would love your partnership in ensuring we can continue to provide this information to farmers and their advocates for as long as necessary.
