Legal Guidance for Farmers Facing Unfair Treatment

At Ben Crump Law, we understand the struggles minority farmers face. We’re here to help you fight for justice and the compensation you deserve as a minority farmer discrimination victim.
Discrimination in Agriculture: A Long-Standing Problem
For years, minority farmers have endured discrimination in various forms.
Discrimination can happen when farmers are denied loans, refused grants, or blocked from participating in federal programs designed to help all farmers.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Black farmers lost over 90% of their land between 1910 and 1997 due to discriminatory practices by the government and lending institutions ([USDA Report](https://www.usda.gov)).
This has resulted in a sharp decline in the number of minority-owned farms.
Key Data:
- In 1920, there were nearly 1 million Black farmers in the U.S.
- By 1997, fewer than 20,000 Black farmers remained (USDA Report).
This trend is not limited to Black farmers.
Latino, Native American, and other minority farmers have also faced discriminatory practices that stifle their ability to thrive in the agricultural sector.

“Discrimination in agriculture is not just a historical issue—it continues to affect minority farmers today. Legal action is essential in ensuring they have the same opportunities as everyone else.” – John Boyd, President, National Black Farmers Association (National Black Farmers Association).
Success Stories: Overcoming Discrimination
Many minority farmers have fought against discrimination and secured the compensation they deserved by filing a minority farmer discrimination lawsuit.
For instance, the Pigford v. Glickman case resulted in a historic settlement in which Black farmers who the USDA had discriminated against received over $1 billion in compensation.
This landmark case set the stage for other minority farmers to seek justice and financial relief when wronged.
