A Wisconsin dairy farmer, represented by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, has filed a federal lawsuit against the USDA, alleging that it unlawfully denies financial assistance to white farmers while favoring minorities. This action follows a previous successful lawsuit against the Biden administration that highlighted racial discrimination. The current lawsuit claims that ongoing diversity programs compromise fairness and violate constitutional rights. Farmer Adam Faust, who initiated the case, seeks accountability from the USDA as he argues that one of millions of white farmers faces systemic discrimination in federal assistance.
"The USDA should honor the President's promise to the American people to end racial discrimination in the federal government," Faust said in a written statement.
The lawsuit alleges the government has continued to implement diversity, equity and inclusion programs that were instituted under former President Joe Biden.
Faust was among several farmers who successfully sued the Biden administration in 2021 for race discrimination in the USDA's Farmer Loan Forgiveness Plan.
The lawsuit contends that Faust is one of 2 million white male American farmers who are subject to discriminatory race-based policies at the USDA.
