FAQ
How much does agricultural mediation cost in North Carolina?
Covered cases are provided at no cost to eligible USDA customers. The available information does not state pricing for matters outside that coverage.
What kinds of farm disputes can be mediated?
The program covers USDA and Farm Service Agency decisions, crop insurance, wetlands and conservation compliance, agricultural lenders, leases, vendors, neighbors, organic certification, and family-farm succession.
Is agricultural mediation voluntary, and can the mediator impose a decision?
The program is intended as a confidential, voluntary alternative to litigation or formal appeals. A mediator cannot impose a decision without mutual consent.
What happens to an appeal deadline when mediation is requested?
The program states that the appeals clock is suspended when mediation is requested, which can allow the parties to work toward resolution without losing that option.
Where does agricultural mediation take place?
Mediations are held in the county where the parties work or reside. The program uses mediators qualified under the law of the state where they mediate.
