As President Trump hails his administration’s efforts to support farmers amid rising costs, Black farmers facing foreclosure continue to get the cold shoulder.
President Donald Trump welcomed hundreds of farmers to the White House on Friday, in what the administration touted as a celebration of agriculture and American farm producers. On the South Lawn, decorated with a massive, obviously Trump-inspired gold tractor, the president hailed the event as the “single largest gathering of American farmers that the White House has ever seen.”

“I certainly asked to be a part of it,” says John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, which represents tens of thousands of Black farmers.
