As part of ongoing outreach efforts to help farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners who experienced discrimination by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Analytic Acquisitions LLC will host virtual information and technical assistance webinars in December and January. The application deadline for this program is Jan. 13, 2024, and Analytic Acquisitions LLC and USDA want people to have free technical assistance in the final days they may be completing their applications.
