USDA Contract Freezes: Filing an NAD Appeal or Inquiry Letter

This resource is written for farmers and ranchers nationwide who have a signed contract with USDA for funding or cost-sharing and want more information on the mechanics of filing a National Appeals Division (NAD) appeal or on using an inquiry letter to get further information. This resource includes sample letters. Version 2 is now available 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.
