Montana Agriculture Mediation – Department of Agriculture
Mediation is a form of dispute resolution where parties meet with a neutral mediator to help guide them toward agreement. The mediator does not make decisions, they serve only to ensure all avenues to resolution are explored. The role of the mediator is to facilitate conversation, establish ground rules and make sure that everyone has an opportunity to voice their position.

There are currently 42 certified state programs in operation. From farm credit issues to disputes over participation in USDA programs, the state mediation programs demonstrate that regardless of the nature of the dispute, mediation can improve communication and repair the relationship between the parties, enable the parties to tailor solutions that work for them, and is generally faster and cheaper than traditional litigation. The Coalition of Agricultural Mediation Programs (CAMP) is a network of these 42 state programs, which work together to sustain and support the work of mediating in agricultural and rural disputes.
