Black Lives Matter now is getting into the agricultural world. A USDA whistleblower claims that the Biden administration implemented race-based loan forgiveness programs that excluded white farmers. The American Rescue Plan Act, which provided debt relief to “socially disadvantaged” farmers, was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.
Whistleblower Exposes Alleged Discrimination
A USDA whistleblower has come forward with allegations that the Biden administration deliberately excluded white farmers from loan forgiveness programs, sparking renewed concerns about racial discrimination in federal agricultural policy. According to the whistleblower, the administration implemented policies that provided debt relief exclusively to minority farmers while withholding the same benefits from white agricultural producers. The claims center around provisions initially included in the American Rescue Plan Act, which specifically targeted “socially disadvantaged” farmers, defined in the legislation as racial minorities.
The whistleblower’s account paints a troubling picture of intentional racial discrimination within the federal agency tasked with supporting American farmers. “It was to pay off anyone who wasn’t a white male’s loan,” the whistleblower stated. “That was the only qualification for this loan forgiveness. They were trying to keep this hushed because of the obvious implications of race-based loan forgiveness.”

Court Rulings and Administrative Response
The controversy deepened when a federal court declared the original loan forgiveness provisions unconstitutional, finding that white farmers were being excluded from benefits solely on the basis of race. The judge ruled that this exclusion represented “an actual constitutional harm that cannot be undone” and that the harm to white farmers “is irreparable.” Despite this legal determination, critics allege the Biden administration continued to implement policies that effectively maintained racial preferences in agricultural assistance programs.
Following the court ruling, the administration pivoted to implement similar provisions through the Inflation Reduction Act. However, according to the whistleblower, information about these new programs was strategically communicated to minority farmers while white farmers were left uninformed about their eligibility. This allegation suggests a potential pattern of circumventing the court’s ruling by creating de facto racial preferences through selective communication rather than explicit statutory language.

Farmers Report Disparate Treatment
White farmers have come forward with personal accounts that appear to support the whistleblower’s claims. James Dunlap, a white farmer from Baker City, Oregon, reported that he only learned about the loan forgiveness program through unofficial channels rather than direct USDA communication. Dunlap emphasized that eligibility for the program seemed to be determined by racial identity rather than financial need or operational challenges.
These accounts suggest that while the letter of the law may have changed following the court ruling, the practical implementation of agricultural assistance programs potentially maintained racial preferences through less visible administrative practices. White farmers report being systematically excluded from information about relief programs for which they would have qualified, effectively denying them equal access to federal assistance despite the court’s determination that such exclusion was unconstitutional.
USDA Officials Deny Discrimination Claims
Former USDA officials have pushed back against the whistleblower’s allegations. Scott Marlow, who was involved in implementing the Inflation Reduction Act, called the claims “absurd” and “inflated.” According to Marlow, demographic analysis shows that 68% of recipients of assistance under Section 22006 identified as White or White and Other Races, a statistic he presents as evidence against systemic discrimination claims. USDA officials maintain that demographic data was not collected or analyzed until after assistance determinations had been made and announced.
The controversy has drawn the attention of Brooke Rollins, who served as USDA Secretary under the Trump administration. Rollins has indicated that her office is reviewing the situation, emphasizing the previous administration’s commitment to non-discriminatory agricultural policies. The dispute highlights broader tensions regarding federal agricultural policy and raises questions about how assistance programs are designed, implemented, and communicated to different farming communities across the country.
