We'd like to believe that our sister organization, Black Farmers Index, has helped elevate Black farmers across the U.S. including New Jersey. Good job K&J Farms. Next New Haven Farms
In the early 1900s, there were approximately 1 million Black farmers who collectively owned about 20 million acres of land. However, due to the extreme systemic racism and discrimination faced by Black Americans, today, there are only around 50,000 Black farmers who own about 3.5 million acres of land. This is yet another reason why reparations are owed.
What a lush, clean, beautiful, and well-maintained farm! I remember when farmers were called the backbone of America. They may be sharing that status with others, but they still are.
Black Americans have always been farmers . Its the usda and racist policies that discriminated against them. Often ,many white folks are misinformed when they think that blacks just naturally aspire to an urban lifestyle and have an inherent disdain to farming and all things agricultural. kkk, racist groups and racist usda policies kicked free blacks off farms and killed black farmers. In Africa, blacks are landowners and farmers. They even wear cowboy hats and boots. So, America has alot of explaining to do. I am white by the way. I am also not a self hating white either.
Kids need to learn where food comes from and the work that it takes to put food in the stores .History tell us that farming was mostly done by black farmers. They may not owned the land but they were the heart of the farm.
I am a descendant of landowners in Evergreen Alabama. We own 70 acres and it’s dormant no one is doing anything with it. We are thinking about growing Longleaf Pine trees a long term investment.
This is a great guy! He knows his business and he takes pride. I've seen farms owned by older white folks not as well ran and not doing well. They should not judge. ALL farmers should support each other. Period.
This is amazing! May God continue to bless this man and his family. I started gardening this year and he is right a lot of hard work but SO rewarding to see your seed turn into food.
I am proud to see reality in the Agricultural Community in North America for all the Tribes. In Georgia, Georgia House Bill 213 is different from Georgia House Bill 324 with how HERBS sometimes are the same as Vegetables, Fruit, Grown on the Tribe of GAD land for all of us. 🤲🏾🙏🏾 Blessings to you and your family
Every now and then we get some good news, even brilliant news. This is such a story. I just saw farmer Boyd of Boydton in an interview on Democracy Now. I never heard of Black farmers either, but I'm at other side of the world ;-) Take care and stay well young man. You look like a picture of health and goodness. God bless you.
It reminds me of my grandfather .I was a kid when I would visit my grandfather I felt he worked so hard to live in a little shack. I couldn't understand it. Or to go into a out house or to take bath and a little tin tub or to go out side at night and couldn't see my hand. Being from the city but I learned to love it because of my grandfather. The simple things and life it was always and me but he instilled it and me even more. I miss him today because I didn't get to spend more time. Time waits on no one.
Love it ..but the reporter should have prepared a script and worked with him so he could convey his thoughts and answers . It could have been a beautiful ed piece.
Now this is what education is about, learning how to survive in the real-life, this is what's needed all across the nation, establishing power is having your own, creating an institution that can be passed down so that they can continue to uplift fallen humanity!!!
Look into FFA and see if there is a program there. I am in Arizona and my degree is agriculture. Surprise all our farm land in the last two years in a place that for 60 years of my life just went into houses and warehouses 😢😢😢😢
@5:11 There has been discrimination... yeah, for centuries. It continues to this day. Seemingly, that evilness, that disdainful perception of said (racially/ethnically) Black Americans is culturally inherent, an indoctrination that is perpetuated and deliberate. And that cultural conditioning of [invalid] disdainment has also for at least a couple of centuries established coalitions with "others" of said different demographical labeled groups, too. That's not hyperbole. That is factual - said the ongoing unwarranted, invalid anti-Black American racism/bigotry/discrimination.
Beautiful Lady Great Program Thank you for Supporting The Black Farmers.
Im 62 and just planted tomatoes and cucumbers for the first time. Exciting
It is so fun growing veggies
Wow! Awesome! I hope you plan some this year too and even more.😀

Stay with the Lord. He will create miracles for you
My grandparents were poor farmers.....🎉
Anyone who owns land is never poor
Really great reporting and images.
Excellent. Farmers are critical; my grandfather was a farmer. It's weird that some black people don't know that black farmers exist.
May "GOD" continue" to "Bless the"Black Farmer....who have had so much "stolen" from us"!!

Thank you for just being a farmer. God bless the farmers. The United States government must stop attacking the farmers.🫡🇺🇸⚖️⚔️🛡
