DEERE DEBUTS LEAP WEBSITE FOCUSED ON BLACK-OWNED FARMLAND –

In late summer 2020, as discussions of racial social justice arose throughout social media and the political realm, John Deere created a coalition that focused on improving the livelihood of Black farmers and addressing the long-running issue of heir’s property. That coalition, known as LEAP (Legislation, Education, Advocacy and Production Systems), now has a website dedicated to advancing its mission. (AGDAILY)
