    Thank you all for watching. Dr. white is my sister and she is simply amazing! We are a family of Agriculture majors and we all encourage more minorities to go into agriculture. Annually we speak to youth about different careers and I have to say the opportunities are limitless. My niece that you see in this video wanted to follow her aunt’s (me) footsteps in food safety initially; however, she has found her own lane in what she see herself doing in the field of agriculture. I am very proud of my big sister Dr. White and my family as a whole.

    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.

    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.

      I see a huge growth of young Black Americans making their way back to agriculture! And that’s rewarding to see.
      I pray much success to you as you continue to teach and the young Black American children grew enthused with a desire to continue their ancestor’s rich agrarian history!

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

      Seems like you'll need to do some soul searching & look inward, because the only racism I see is *heavy* in your comment.
      Go pretend its 1950 somewhere else if you don't plan on listening to the educational video you clicked on.

      The number one rice in the USA was UNCLE BENJAMIN.....
      But they didn't want his image on the brand. Why? I have no clue....and this black FARMER was one of the best in RICE cultivation.....
      It sells pretty well here in Puerto Rico...
      Do we have some type of short memory loss?

      What a racist thing to say.
      The liquor stores on every corner speaks to the priorities of the government giving grants to minorities to setup shop in Black communities with littering them with liquor stores instead of grocery stores or actual businesses to employ the Black residents of the communities they live in.
