PEMBROKE – Nineteen Robeson County farmers received nearly $2 million in a settlement with the U.S. government.
Each farmer or rancher Friday received payments of at least $50,000 from the Keepseagle v. Vislack class action lawsuit.
The lawsuit claimed that the U.S. Department of Agriculture discriminated against American Indians between 1981 and 1999 by denying them access to USDA loan and assistance programs. A $760 million settlement was reached in 2010, and payments are just now reaching those eligible for compensation.
