Even subsidized, many farmers cannot afford crop insurance.Secondly, the land grant universities with their county agents? They still exist and provide information to everyone, regardless of skin color or income. It is known today as the cooperative extension service, and it is taxpayer funded.Every state has one, although the quality varies, it all depends on how well the state decides to fund it.In honor of Dr. King, I’m going to link to Georgia (UGA)Here is their page on growing fruits and vegetables in Georgia and beekeeping -- source link
