Council Created for Native American Farmers

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has named the members of a council created in a 2010 settlement to ensure Native American farmers and ranchers have access to Department of Agriculture programs. The council, which will include Gerald Lunak of Blackfeet Nation, will suggest changes to Farm Service Agency regulations and make proposals to improve Native American participation in USDA programs.
