Are you a farmer with a signed contract with USDA for funding under programs including EQIP, CSP, or REAP?* Are you an organization with a signed grant contract under USDA RMA?* If so, and you are dealing with frozen funding, agency inaction, or have received a letter of termination, filing an NAD appeal or demand letter may help preserve your right to recover through a lawsuit. Farm Commons is hosting a FREE 75-minute webinar on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 10 AM CT, to help farmers and organizations discover:

1. Who might need to file an appeal,
2. What filing an appeal achieves, and;
3. How to file an appeal with NAD.

Facilitated by Farm Commons’ Executive Director, Rachel Armstrong, Esq., and Farm Commons’ Associate Director and Attorney, Erin Hannum, Esq., this webinar explains and expands on the two recent guides they wrote on the role of filing an NAD appeal for farmers and Farm Commons’ forthcoming guide for nonprofits. Please join us to learn more about how Farm Commons, as well as other people and organizations, can support you in this difficult time. Register here.

*Other applicable programs may include contracts or loans through RCPP, ARC, PLC, CRP, and NAP and grant contracts through AMS, RBCS, and NIFA.
