if he DOES think that way and is still employing black people to do farmwork, what does that tell us about HIS farming skills? this is not to put the hurt on the man named in the article, but i'm sure there are plenty of so-called "farmers" who take the racist view that "black people cannot farm" yet whose farms would never be productive without black employees.
Look - that's twice now you've started postings with "if". I don't care about "if"s: by the wording in the article he's doing right by his employees or otherwise One would figure they'd leave for greener pastures.
IMO: if they think they can farm by themselves: why aren't they doing it? Their government seems to WANT them to farm, and I'm sure they'd help them, and some of them ARE farming, so how about all the others? If they're happier working for someone else, that's their choice and if they didn't like his opinions they probably wouldn't stay where they are, doing what they're doing.
