Native Americans and black farmers got some long-awaited justice Wednesday when President Obama signed landmark legislation awarding them payments for years of unfair treatment by the federal government.
But others still are waiting - Hispanic farmers, female farmers and more than 100 Native American tribes - with their own list of grievances.
The BBC has excellent background reporting and information on the other cases still waiting for settlement:
Like most farmers in the US, he and his family were entitled to grants and low interest loans, particularly when harvests were poor due to weather or other circumstances outside their control.
But while his non-Hispanic, white neighbours received payments on time, he says his were delayed or the paperwork was mislaid...
Unable to continue farming and deeply in debt, Mr Garcia, 57, submitted to foreclosure and his 628-acre family farm in New Mexico was sold to a neighbour for a fraction of its market value.
This settlement is an important step in the right direction. And the open issues are also an important reminder that injustice now is something we may be paying for later, so maybe we ought to be more vigilant about it now. I don't think an economic argument for justice is the one that we should be making, but perhaps it is one that will work.
