Adams	A000370	adams.house.gov	adams	https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases	scraper	CHARLOTTE – Today, the Biden-Harris Administrationannounced it has issued payments to eligible applicants under the Inflation Reduction Act’s Discrimination Financial Assistance Program (DFAP), which aims to provide financial assistance to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners who experienced discrimination prior to January 2021. Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12), a Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, made the following statement: "I am thrilled that we are finally beginning to address the consequences of generations of discrimination against farmers. I was proud to support the Discrimination Financial Assistance Program as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which will now provide over $136 million to over 1300 North Carolina farmers. While we cannot undo a lifetime of discriminatory practices with one program or initiative, this is a step in the right direction.” ### Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. represents North Carolina's 12th Congressional District (Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, Cabarrus County) and serves on the House Committee on Agriculture and the House Committee on Education & the Workforce, where she serves as ranking member of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-07T21:24:45Z
