Black farmers’ settlement still not a done deal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A $1.25 billion settlement between black farmers primarily from the South and the Agriculture Department is at risk of unraveling after Congress adjourned for a two-week break without approving the spending. The settlement, to which the Obama administration agreed last month, has been hailed as the final chapter in a decades-long struggle by African-Americans who say they faced discrimination from local USDA offices in trying to get loans or other aid that routinely went to whites. But it included a clause allowing
plaintiffs to back out if money wasn’t appropriated by March 31 – a timeline that Congress will miss after adjourning Friday until mid-April. Following years of wrangling, the plaintiffs still have strong incentive to stick with the deal. But John Boyd, a lead advocate for black farmers, said he doesn’t know if the dozens of lawyers working on the case can hold together, particularly after some wanted much more money. He said the administration and congressional leaders are not making it a priority. “When we entered into this agreement, the administration agreed to put this on fast track. That was one of our
reasons for taking this deal,� he said. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack responded Friday that he and others are working hard at resolving the issue, a task that has been complicated by finding a way to pay for the settlement and by the Democratic health care overhaul that has dominated lawmakers’ attention recently. The funding would be the second round of damages stemming from a class-action lawsuit that the government originally settled in 1999 over discrimination claims against USDA. The suit was named after Timothy Pigford, a black farmer from North Carolina who was among the original plaintiffs.
