Yet hurdles still exist. Farms are largely passed from generation to generation, making it difficult for outsiders to break into the “closed shop”. “The industry is an old boys’ network, it doesn’t want to let in new blood – whether Defra, the National Farmers’ Union, or Cirencester agricultural college. [The industry is] desperate for diversity, for change, but until we do something about that it’s always going to be a closed shop.” The Victory Garden Initiative in Milwaukee offered free food during the pandemic. Photograph: Courtesy of Victory Garden Initiative We call upon our fellow farmers, neighbors and friends to join John Boyd in his call for President Joe Biden to issue a Farm Foreclosure Moratorium to save American Farmers. The Biden Mortgage Moratorium must include foreclosure protection for USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Ownership Direct and Guaranteed Loans as other Agricultural Loans while legislative remedies are being debated in Congress.

A breakthrough came when the 2018 farm bill was signed into law a few days before Christmas, making it possible for farmers to show other forms of documentation besides a will to get a farm serial number. In an appalling stunt, PepsiCo executives recently notified the President of the NBFA that it would not be moving forward with any contracts for NBFA members.I’m merely giving you the facts. Am I being clear today?” Boyd asked. “Mmmhmm,” the farmers answer collectively. He repeated twice: “Nothing is pending in court. The case is closed and settled.” The context may be very different now but the sense of urgency is the same, says Dobbs. During the waves of the pandemic many people struggled to access food staples. “Urban gardens have proved to be a saving grace,” she says. Emmanuel-Jones set up a marketing agency in London, specializing in food brands, including Loyd Grossman, Kettle Chips and Plymouth Gin.

This can put urban farmers at a disadvantage, especially when developers show interest. Farmers can easily be forced to move, forfeiting years of investment. There’s something about owning land. It’s not really about the farming as such, it’s owning land, owning a part of England, it makes you an Englishman. I think the more we see people of colour really getting into areas of the establishment, the more it’s accepted that we’re here.”

So, my rating for this book? I honestly debated a 5-star review, but I am comfortable with a 4-4.5. For me to rate a book 5-stars, the ending has to just blow me away. While this ending was satisfying, it wrapped up just a little too…neatly, for my taste. That being said, there were so many things that I liked about this book. Of course, being that we are dealing with an afterlife, there are slight religious references (heaven and hell) though my heathen self didn’t feel like I was being beat over the head with someone else’s moral compass. This is actually very important to me when it comes to this type of book. John Boyd Jr takes his new Kubota cab tractor for a spin to see how well it prepares his land for planting soybeans.

There are a lot of people who absolutely adore this book who are going to continue to adore this book. As a matter of fact I wanted to love this book. But this was a no for me. I don't even want to review this but here we go. Wes moved into a trailer last year across the street from a smaller, 160-acre plot in Baskerville that Boyd owns. His double-cuffed slim jeans awkwardly rest on top of a borrowed pair of his dad’s cowboy boots. “I usually wear Vans,” he says. Unlike many inner-city children Emmanuel-Jones had access to nature, thanks to his father’s allotment, where he grew an array of vegetables, including Jamaican varieties. “Being in an environment where you’re with nature, watching things grow, in a sense it became my sanctuary,” he says. That environment provided inspiration for him to, one day, own a farm.

For some farmers, that means complete cancellation. For others, it means partial assistance, even after they were promised full cancellation one year ago. He is a big man with deep-set eyes usually in the shadow of a cowboy hat brim. His voice could rumble floorboards. Boyd, 53, seems most content bouncing in the seat of his tractor, smoke tufts marking his trail. He’ll harvest the soybeans he’s busy planting today in the fall, once they’re about knee-high. Kara rattled the number for Judge Friedman’s clerk off the top of her head in case anyone had lingering questions. It is just a recorded message stating the case is settled and done.
