AGRICULTURE IS OUR LIFE

We all own our farms and seek opportunities to expand our operations. We strive to teach our young men and women about the virtues of farming, the importance of agriculture, and the commitment it takes to be successful in the global business of agriculture.

The NBGC was organized to represent the unique needs of full-time Black farmers. We have formed partnerships with each other, with majority farmers, and with corporations, because together, we all contribute to the global food supply.

We produce major commodities:

• cotton

• corn

• rice

• soybeans

• wheat

• peanuts

• canola

• oats

• grain sorghum

In addition, we grow fruits, vegetables and sweet potatoes.

We raise livestock including cattle, hogs and poultry.

What’s so great about the products we grow is that it’s all done on lands that have been a part of our heritage for many generations.

This isn’t our granddaddy’s or great granddaddy’s farm. Think of us today as:

• engineers

• planners

• directors

• corporate investors

• managers

• accountants

• economists

• agronomists

We constantly integrate technology and partner with the agricultural industry to help develop new products, technologies and processes to strengthen our mission.
