Are any of you farmers or descendants of farmers?
I make my living in agriculture. A lot of my time is spent working with small and medium sized farms, primarily on the highly diversified, sustainable side of the fence. And because I'm Black, I try to make sure that farmers of color are made aware and prepared to take advantage of any funding opportunities that are available to them.
This scholarship opportunity is for undergraduate and graduate students came across my inbox. Please take advantage of it yourself or share as you see fit. We really need to get young African-Americans interested in agriculture.

I don't know how I missed your thread.
My grandmother's people were farmers. I'll never forget when I was a child, my pristine, quintessentially Southern, Spelman-educated grandmother picked up a mouse when I was visiting her house with her bare hands. At 9, which I think I was at the time, I couldn't believe she touched that nasty thing barehanded and she was like "child, please. This is NOTHING compared to what I used to have to do on the farm when I was growing up." 
This is a great opportunity. Thanks for posting it.
