Journalist Herbert L. White examines the crisis confronting Black farmers in the United States. Their numbers are declining, due in part to the cost of production, but also the legacy of discrimination against them in federal and local policy.
White's reporting opens in the South, where the majority of Black farmers operate, and expands to policymakers on the local and national level.
This reporting project asks a basic question: How can Black agriculture producers survive when family-owned farms face increasing pressures?
