So cool. I am a city raised Black older lady who just started doing part time work on a mid-western farm. I loved watching this.

Farmers are the first to take care of our land but often the last to be taken care of by us.

I feel Dr. White’s pain! It’s so hard to get Black students into Agriculture. It’s like farming or simply being outside is so “wrong” for Black students to do. It’s hard being a Black Ag teacher in middle school. We have to get people to stop associating Ag with slavery as Black folk in America. Agriculture will forever be the first career of man.
