REAP: Evaluating Options Before the April 24 deadline

This recorded webinar explores the options for responding to USDA's opportunity to amend REAP projects, including choosing to make changes, choosing no changes, or doing nothing. We propose two more alternative options including: Send a letter to Rural Development regional and national offices to ask for clarity, and clarifying the project's alignment with the Executive Orders.

This recorded webinar refers to two resources:

Navigating Amendments to Your USDA Signed Agreement per Executive Orders: Options and Actions, addresses common questions about amendments and walks through the advantages and risks of key options

We also have a resource specific to REAP funding recipients: Sending an Inquiry Letter to Seek Clarity on USDA’s March 26 notification to REAP funding recipients–before the April 25 deadline 

 

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.
