>> less than 5% of America’s farms are owned by non-white people
they just don’t want to be field hands because it reinforces racial stereotypes, plus the work is too hard

The free market would stipulate that if there was a shortage of farmers...then the value of being a farmer would go up significantly enough to fill in the shortage.
If pumping sewage into a honey wagon payed 100 bucks an hour....people would be kicking the doors down and getting college degrees in order to get hired into that “Career”.
And you know what...if enough people refused to pump sewage at the current labor rates...it would eventualy pay 100 an hour.

Hand over farms to People of Color and women. Then complain about spreading starvation in less than a generation.

Why would Gen Z need farmers when there are Uber Eats and DoorDash?

I thought all we needed was Monsanto, Archer-Daniels Midland, and Deere.

If the black people went to South Africa, they could enjoy the food produced by Black Farmers...

No worries. AI will run the farms. Robots (be they mechanical or humans with brain implants) will follow AI instruction for what to plant, how to grow it, when to harvest it, how to harvest it and how to distribute it (to right thinking humanoids only).

More than 150,000 farms and ranches use renewable energy, up 15% since the last census in 2017. Incorporating solar panels onto open fields or buildings was the most popular method. That’s progress.It's "progress" to suck up huge tax breaks and take precious farmland out of production? In what world is that "progress"? If they are worried about not enough farmers, then shouldn't they be worried about HUGE amounts of productive farmland being used for solar and wind power? That's a much more serious issue, all caused by FedGov market-distorting policies.
In a story about whether there will be enough farmers, why do they feel compelled to discuss renewable energy? What's that go to do with anything about farming?

Despite diversity efforts in recent years, less than 5% of America’s farms are owned by non-white people, the same percentage reported five years prior. How do we make them stop with this bullshit?
Do people want "black produced corn and soybeans?" Are blacks clamoring to be farmers?
The few that now exist can access so much Fed.gov money, they are probably more corporate welfare recipients, than they are farmers.

The number family farms/ranches has been going down since I was a kid.
Between AI and corporate farming, the family farm/ranch will continue to go extinct...

As a partial Breatharian, I survive on little more than what I can find in my kitchen and refrigerator, and infrequent trips to the supermarket or stuff from Amazon, so this is of little concern to me.

I did farmwork when I was in school and realized it wasn't something I wanted to do my whole life. Not knocking farmers, still good friends with many but it just wasn't for me.
The problem with the elitist mentality is that it sees every occupation, business, organization as something that needs to adhere to DEI or not exist at all.
