Every state government runs programs alongside the federal government — covering everything from farm infrastructure to agricultural technology adoption.

A structured mediation process administered by QRIDA that provides an efficient and equitable way for farmers and mortgagees (lenders) to attempt to resolve matters relating to farm business debt. Mediation is required before mortgagees can take possession of a property or other enforcement action under a farm mortgage. The process involves a neutral mediator assisting farmers and lenders to reach agreement, and is typically cheaper and quicker than arbitration or litigation.
