USDA Lawfare Submission Portal

Have you experienced unfair or politically motivated government actions that have affected your cattle or sheep operation?

The USDA Lawfare Submission Portal allows farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers to report potential agricultural lawfare directly to USDA. This may include excessive red tape and permitting at the federal, state or local level; litigation by private or public entities to deter favorable outcomes for agriculture; egregious civil or criminal penalties; or the use of eminent domain to inhibit agricultural production.
