Historic Relief Bill for Black Farmers and other "Socially Disadvanteged Farmers" Passes as part of 2021 1.9 Trillion Dollar Coronavirus Relief Bill Signed by Biden!!!!!!

Historic Relief Bill for Black Farmers and other "Socially Disadvanteged Farmers" Passes!!!!! A provision estimated at $5 billion or so in aid to "socially disadvantaged" farmers is a small part of the overall package. However, the aid would pay off FSA direct and guaranteed loans for farmers in socially disadvantaged groups -- defined as Black or African American, American Indians or Native Alaskans, Hispanics, Asians and Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders.
