kateoplis: Casey & Katie Kulla of Oakhill Organics, Grand Island, Oregon, featured in 40 farmers under 40: Forty of the nation’s brightest green thumbs, quietly nurturing a food revolution from their own back yards. (via @thelifesimple) and a whopping 1 minority in the group. combined w/ their earlier “40 under 40” list (equally monochromatic), that’s 78 white young farmers and 2 persons of color. this despite the fact that the majority of young agriculture workers in this country are non-white. shame on MNN for not learning their lesson the first time around.
