 And now they're getting blowback from minorities. They're smart to align with the majority of their customer base.

 Do black farmers use cheap seeds and fertilizer or do they want the best products available? Why would they expect anything different from a company trying to be as successful as possible?

 What are the odds that the "Black Farmers Association" is funded and operated by farmers who are black?

 Sounds racist. Is there a white Farmers Association or an Asian farmers association?

 I refuse to believe that anyone who successfully navigates the empirical realities of farming also has the disposition to wade in Marxist bafflegab about "social" justice. Any racially focused group in farming, engineering, manufacturing, etc. is artificially created and supported by outsiders with no skills other than influence peddling and rent seeking.
