Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) is warning of a scam that targets farmers applying for a program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

According to an announcement on social media scammers are charging fees to farmers to help apply for compensation in the USDA's Discrimination Financial Assistance Program (DFAP).

The program, however, has closed and is no longer taking applications. Anyone who receives offers to apply are advised to disregard them.
