Are any of you farmers or descendants of farmers? [View all]

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.
