We encourage all Rural Coalition Members and farmers to join us for an important zoom call on Friday, July 7th at 7pm ET (6 PM CT, 5 PM MT, 4 PM PT) for an update on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Section 22006 (financial relief for distressed borrowers) & Section 22007 Financial Assistance for Producers Who Experienced Discrimination in USDA Farm Loan Programs prior to January 1, 2021). On our call, Stephen Carpenter from Farmers’ Legal Action Group (FLAG) will provide us with these important updates. This call is also cosponsored by North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers Land Loss Prevention Project and National Young Farmers Coalition.

Before we meet, take a moment to review our press release and USDA's press release on the opening of the claims process for IRA Section 22007. It is our goal to provide all relevant information to help you prepare and be ready to submit your claims. Please come prepared to ask any questions you may have.
