CHILTON, Wis. (WRN) — A Wisconsin dairy farmer is suing the Trump administration, claiming discrimination against white farmers.
The Wisconsin Institution for Law and Liberty is representing Adam Faust, who uses United States Department of Agriculture programs to operate his dairy farm near Chilton in Calumet County. WILL says Faust pays annual administrative fees that minority or female farmers do not and receives loan guarantees and grants at lower rates than minority or female farmers.
WILL vice president and deputy counsel Dan Lennington said the goal of the suit filed Monday is neutrality — not having minorities pay more, or other farmers like Faust pay less.
A USDA spokesperson told WKOW TV in Madison that the agency doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
