      abstract = {This paper focuses on socially disadvantaged farmers  (SDFs) and civil rights issues as it relates to the USDA.  It also deals with Diversity Initiatives in the 2008 Farm  Bill, and discusses an assessment by Jackson Lewis LLC of  the USDA’s efforts to deal with the diversity initiatives.  Redacted USDA case studies examined at the 2010  Professional Agricultural Workers Conference at Tuskegee  University are presented. The findings revealed that at  that time the 2008 Farm Bill Initiatives were not  effectively being implemented. It was recommended that the  USDA should: keep making the effort to reform or improve  its civil rights practices; be more customer-oriented;  follow-up on clients; be transparent; and continue using  1890s, community-based organizations, and other outreach  entities to reach SDFs.},
