The Agricultural Mediation Program is designed to help farmers and others resolve agriculture-related disputes quickly, amicably, and in a cost-effective manner. The program can help with the following issues: Mediation is voluntary, confidential, free, and generally only takes a meeting or two to complete. Mediation also can save farmers and others significant time and legal fees, as mediation is an alternative to formal processes such as the USDA appeals process, Right to Farm complaint and public hearing process, and others.
