Are Black farmers the answer to Black economic power?

Black farmers have been fading from the American countryside for decades, but there are a few Black farmers who are successfully keeping the Black farm active.  Michael Carter Jr. of Carter Farms in Orange County, VA is running his family's 110-year-old farm, and he talks about the value of land and farming - especially when it comes to building sustainability for the Black community.  But his family farm is doing more than the traditional growing of produce and rearing livestock.  Carter talks about the modern way to farm and the proper way to build generational wealth from the purchase of land.  Additionally, he gives a history lesson, and he talks about the inequalities that have kept and continue to keep Black farmers and other farmers of color from being fully integrated into the market place.Support the show
