The Farm Service Agency in Jackson, MS is responsible for overseeing the Keepseagle class action settlement, which aims to provide monetary relief, debt relief, and tax relief to Native American farmers and ranchers who were allegedly discriminated against by the USDA in its farm loan program.
Under the guidance of Janie Hipp, Senior Adviser for Tribal Relations to Thomas Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture, the agency is urging eligible individuals to file their claims before the December 27, 2011 deadline in order to have the opportunity to receive a cash payment or loan forgiveness.
