Farmer Equity Act

The Farmer Equity Act concerns the treatment of socially disadvantaged farmers in agricultural policy and programs. It sets out legislative findings on the circumstances those farmers face, defines the terms used to identify them, and directs that they be included in the agricultural programs the act covers. It also imposes a reporting requirement so that the state's progress on that inclusion is documented.
