Re: Black farmer questioned by police three times in a week!!!!

Karen there's no way of connecting to that link for me, I've tried
all roads for it!

I did spot one Coloured Farmer on the John Craven show on the BBC a
few weeks ago going on about Organic Farming and Silage storage and
use for his cows, but even John Craven said then, there weren't too
many coloured "Commercial" Farmers in the UK (or words to that
effect).


Cheers
John.

I would have thought that possibly it was based on land ownership being a problem, although I have to say that I hadn't given it much thought. Perhaps some...

I dont' approve either, Karen. I'm not sure a black kid from an inner city has less chance of becoming a farmer than a white kid from an inner city. I suspect...
