Vilsack is Secretary of Agriculture. Previously the same position back in Obama’s days when the first reparations with Black farmers was struck. Back to the Forty Acres and a Mule. We have seen this story before with the same characters. Let’s do this one more time. As you will find out, Black Farmers have already received Millions of dollars in reparations under Vilsack during Obama’s adminsitration.
Today, the USDA announced it is paying off farm loans – $800 million worth.
Before we get to the story…..Breaking News
Well what do you know. Guess what happened just this week! What a coincidence. MSNBC
Black farmers took the Biden administration to court this week over a $4 billion promise that never came to pass. The farmers say that the federal government broke its promise to help farmers of color get out of debt as part of the American Rescue Plan, leaving them in even deeper in debt while dealing with soaring costs.
Now we continue and the back story will make more sense:
Below is today’s announcement from the USDA.
USDA Provides Payments of Nearly $800 M..43113 (003) by Jim Hoft on Scribd
Work has already started to bring some relief to distressed farmers. As of today, over 13,000 borrowers have already benefited from the resources provided under the Inflation Reduction Act as follows:
- Approximately 11,000 delinquent direct and guaranteed borrowers had their accounts brought current. USDA also paid the next scheduled annual installment for these direct loan borrowers giving them peace of mind in the near term.
- Approximately 2,100 borrowers who had their farms foreclosed on and still had remaining debt have had this debt resolved in order to cease debt collections and garnishment relieving that burden that has made getting a fresh start more difficult.
Americans deserve to know how this money is being paid and to whom? Is this a boondoggle that the Biden gang is using to pay off their cronies? Where is this money going? How does this address inflation? More at Gateway Pundit
Bunkerville has an idea. One only has to go back to the Obama years for 2.0
It goes something like this:
Pigford: Nothing but reparations to Blacks, Women, Hispanics who claim to be farmers February 26, 2011
So we have the name Vilsack in the story and add the name Sherrod to make sense of this. Who was Sherrod?
Ms. Sherrod’s July 2009 appointment to her USDA position at ruraldevelopment.org gives off quite a few clues. She worked under Vilsack. She later left and then sued the government for Big Bucks.
2010– yes, 2010 was a very good year.
The Obama administration is offering at least $1.3 billion to settle complaints from female and Hispanic farmers who say they faced discrimination from the Agriculture Department. Washington Post
Senate approves $4.5B payment to Native Americans, black farmers and the Sherrods
November 20, 2010 — bunkerville
Shirley Sherrod who stands to make super big bucks. Anyone remember? Anyone care??
The Senate unanimously approved Friday two multibillion-dollar settlements that will rectify long-standing claims against the federal government for discrimination and mismanagement.
See our earlier post: Black Farmer Helper Shirley Sherrod is linked to Bill Ayers
An announcement of Ms. Sherrod’s July 2009 appointment to her USDA position at ruraldevelopment.org gives off quite a few clues:
RDLN Graduate and Board Vice Chair Shirley Sherrod was appointed Georgia Director for Rural Development by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on July 25. Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families (see below) has won a thirteen million dollar settlement (Out of court settlement with her former boss) in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.
This must-read story at Illinois Review reveals that Ms. Sherrod’s husband is a former honcho in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee back in the 1960’s. You can read more about it in Bill Ayers book “Fugitive Days.” Yes, that Bill Ayers. He was involved in SNCC as well.
From the Washington Examiner:
Already, the number of people who have been paid and are still seeking payment will likely exceed the 26,785 black farmers who were considered to even be operating back in 1997, according to USDA. That’s the year the case initially began as Pigford v. (then Agriculture Secretary) Glickman and sources predicted that, at most, 3,000 might qualify.
What does Saint Sherrod have to say for this one? Last I heard there were more claims from Black farmers than could have possibly have existed. But what the hell- we just gave 3.4 billion to Native Americans in Reparations.. lets keep it going. Read more here: Reparations for Native Americans Plus a billion more in bonds.
She made big bucks in the Lawsuit called New Communities -This is the largest award so far in the minority farmers law suit (Pigford vs Vilsack)
New Communities is due to receive approximately $13 million ($8,247,560 for loss of land and $4,241,602 for loss of income; plus $150,000 each to Shirley and Charles for pain and suffering). There may also be an unspecified amount in forgiveness of debt.
We did a ton of stories on this fiasco and Marxist Shirley Sherrod The Senate unanimously approved Friday two multibillion-dollar settlements that will rectify long-standing claims against the federal government for discrimination and mismanagement.
Native Americans involved in the land trust lawsuit will get access to a $3.4 billion fund. Black farmers who are a part of a class-action lawsuit against the USDA will receive a $1.15 billion settlement.
The House, which has twice endorsed the deals, must still do so one more time, an action that is expected after Thanksgiving. Senate approval, however, has been a huge hurdle for Native Americans, who sued the government over poorly handled individual Indians’ trust accounts, and black farmers. From the Washington Post
Postscript update: Sherrod is back working for Vislack. The game continues.
Other than that, all is well in the swamp. More “Out of court settlements” by Vilsack.

Just how it is determined who is in for some bucks is yet to be determined but I am sure this government committee will find a way. I doubt forty acres and a mule is the amount they have in mind. Here it is from the Garden State:
