SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the provisions of the

USDA established an advisory council
for Native American farmers and

the authority of the Secretary of

Vilsack that was granted final approval
by the District Court for the District of
Columbia on April 28, 2011.

transmit recommendations concerning
any changes to FSA regulations or
internal guidance or other measures that
would eliminate barriers to program
participation for Native American
farmers and ranchers; (3) to examine
methods of maximizing the number of
new farming and ranching opportunities
created through the farm loan program
through enhanced extension and
financial literacy services; (4) to
examine methods of encouraging
intergovernmental cooperation to
mitigate the effects of land tenure and
probate issues on the delivery of USDA
farm loan programs; (5) to evaluate other
methods of creating new farming or
ranching opportunities for Native
American producers; and (6) to address
other related issues as deemed
appropriate.
