Efforts are taking shape to address injustice to Black farmers Efforts are taking shape to address injustice to Black farmers By Michele S. Byers Logan Davis has a dream of running his own organic farm, one that would use no-till, “regenerative” methods to enrich the soil, grow healthy foods and sequester carbon that contributes to climate change. As a young Black farmer, he faces many challenges. The vast majority of farmers in New Jersey and throughout the United States are White, and many have the advantage of coming from families that have farmed the same land for generations. Logan doesn’t have family farmland to inherit or older family members with farming skills to pass on. He also feels that, at times, he has been taken less seriously as a farmer because of his color.
