“Mother nature doesn’t discriminate,” Burrell said. “It doesn’t rain on white farms but not black farms. Insects don’t [only] attack black farmers’ land…why is it then that white farmers are buying Stine seed and their yield is 60, 70, 80, and 100 bushels of soybeans and black farmers who are using the exact same equipment with the exact same land, all of a sudden, your seeds are coming up 5, 6, and 7 bushels?”

i am losing my shit all over the fucking place because yes I believe this company would do this, god damn them. 

It’s funny how white people will swear any disparities between black and white people is because black people just don’t work hard enough and then do shit like this
