Alabama Agricultural Mediation Program Updated:01/2024

The Alabama Agricultural Mediation Program is a USDA - Certified State Program that offers mediation services to Alabama agricultural farmers, their creditors, and USDA Agencies. We inspect and enforce laws pertaining to feed, seed, fertilizer and agricultural lime as well as conducting yearly BSE Inspections at feed manufacturing facilities.

Mediation is a no-cost, voluntary, confidential, problem-solving process wherein an impartial third party (the mediator) helps those in need to resolve disputes by:

  • Identifying and clarifying issues
  • Exploring options
  • Recording agreements

The mediator assists the parties in exploring the issues and solutions in order to arrive at an agreement acceptable to all parties. Agreement on a realistic plan of action is the desired end result. Thus, mediation can assist farmers in avoiding costly appeals and litigation.
