USDA California
Other ranchers in the area back then were not losing their land, because of forgiveness loans. These loans were given only to male farmers and when women went to ask for these loans that answer were “no money left for a loan or no more application forms.” Only a few women receive these loans, but in exchange for sexual favors. Women and Hispanic do not get free legal assistance. Love did not file any claim, because she knew that there would not be justice however, a Hispanic farmer file a case saying, “The process itself violates his civil rights”
Hispanic and women farmers who believe USDA discriminated against them can file to get a piece of at least $1.33 billion in cash awards and tax relief payments and up to $160 million in farm debt relief
