In this episode, we ventured to Texas to speak with 4th generational farmer and rancher, P. Wade Ross, Chief Executive of the Texas Small Farmers and Ranchers CBO located in College Station, Texas. Texas Small Farmers and Ranchers was founded in 1998 by P. Wade Ross's parents, who recognized the time had come for small and underserved farmers and ranchers to organize themselves, articulate their needs and issues, and chart their own destinies. We discussed the historical founding of the organization, the impact COVID-19 had on the way they operate, the importance of generating hope and belief in Black farmers and ranchers, and the negative impact heir property exploitation is having on the agricultural industry. To learn more about them and to support their work, contact Texas Small Farmers and Ranchers Community Based Organization via their email below and sending any opportunities their way!
