The Oklahoma Agricultural Mediation Program 

 

---

 Welcome from the Program Manager

         

Greetings from the Oklahoma Agriculture Mediation Program, the Oklahoma Agriculture Mediation Program (OAMP) has been helping people in agriculture resolve conflicts since 1987.

 

Since becoming the first USDA-certified mediation provider for the state of Oklahoma, our professional mediators have helped thousands of farmers, ranchers and federal agencies work together to reach realistic, durable solutions to the challenges they face. I know how costly and stressful it is to leave the decision about one’s future in the hands of someone else, as would be the case in court or at a hearing. I am privileged to be part of a program that helps people talk about what really matters so they can reach their own solutions in mediation.

 

At OAMP, we know firsthand about the power of working together to resolve conflicts.  Learn more about mediation and about us by looking through the information we have here. If you have other questions, please call us! We’re here to answer any questions you have about mediation and how it can work for you.

About Us

At OAMP, we help people talk about what really matters.   OAMP provides FREE mediation services through the Oklahoma Agriculture Mediation Program for cases that relate to Oklahoma agriculture and environmental issues. Our professional mediators and facilitators also provide Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services across the state.

 

How can we help you?

Mediation is a voluntary process in which people involved in a dispute agree to meet in a confidential, non confrontational setting to attempt to work out a solution on their own.  A mediator helps people discuss the disagreement and identify options that might resolve the problem.  Mediators facilitate the discussion; they do not give legal advice or counseling and have no authority to decide the outcome.  If an agreement is reached in mediation, the terms will be written down and signed by both parties.   

OAMP  (Oklahoma Agricultural Mediation Program) is the USDA certified mediation provider for the State of Oklahoma. OAMP is a FREE service.  OAMP assists agricultural producers, their lenders, and other people who have received an adverse decision from the USDA.  Authorized by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 and Oklahoma statutes, mediation is an effective way to settle disputes in many different USDA program areas, including farm loans and farm programs, and agricultural credit issues. OAMP can also assist rural Oklahomans with resolving a wide variety of issues that relate to environmental issue.
