Yeah I know CNN link... if it bothers you find another...

How John Deere is helping Black farmers and their descendents take back unjustly seized land

Unjustly seized doesnt exactly sound like unjustly siezed...  sold by a descendant and legally acquired by someone else seems more accurate.

Oh wait! John Deere HR is involved... go figure.

I'm something of a cynic, but I can look into the future and see the possibility of this movement turning into a nightmare for white farmers, particularly in the south. If your land holdings go back to any of the old black estates, it's conceivable that it might not matter if it was purchased legally, the current woke bullshit could metastasize into 'reparations' in which whites have to give up their land. South Africa, here we come.

Wake up, Deere - the people that spend the most money on green shit don't give a fuck about your SJW bullshit.

Their magazine "The Furrow" has been getting more woke by the issue.
Remember, they are a globalist company. No different than Nike or any of the rest.

Companies makes all this stuff so complicated. It's really very simple.

I'm company XYZ and we make widgets. "Ok Company XYZ, what do you think about the latest SJW trend?"

No idea, we make widgets. "But, but...what about the trend?" We make widgets. Wanna buy some widgets?

My take away from the article:

Who ever thought land fractions were a good fucking idea?


Jfc.  This is government fuck up all over it.



And Deere just wants more people to extract a payment out of.  Black, white, red, tan, whatever.

Can you blame them?

It is their lane.

More land owners = more suckers for a payment.  Especially in situations like this.  New land owner. No idea what the fuck to do.  Your local Deere dealer will take very good care of you.... of course you need all this equipment...

If anyone isnt aware that JD went full commie years ago then you're not paying attention.

I've spent my last dime buying their equipment. I have a bit longer letting them milk me on repairs of some leftover owned units then after that no more not ever.

break the average farm size down in acreage with more owners and there will be less demand for million dollar machines.
also opens the door for all the kubotas, tym, kioti mahindras to gain back market share.

There is history...


JD has been a huge target for a specific group of racists who basically allege that there is a farming gap among blacks and that gap is due to exclusion from land, loans, access to seed, access to tractors and equipment, and a lack of training.


These groups are effective at extortion and just got black farmers loans forgiven...only black loans.

They won huge money years back, from the fed gov in a lawsuit based on alleged discrimination in farm programs.  

Now, they are riding a wave of money and are going after companies like JD, alleging they refused to loan money and finance tractors which caused long term racial inequality.  


JD already caved and paid them once...more will be extorted.

Needs to be repeated over and over.

As a business, I only care if the payment completes successfully.

Yeah, I'm sure there are no white farmers who died without a will, or were taken advantage of by some slick talker in a suit.  

Seems like a colossal fuckup in general, with screwy inheritance laws.  Nothing to do with race.

At some point, wouldn't the guy with the small fraction loose his share due to not having actual title or something?

They are making it a race issue.  It's not a race issue, but a weird inheritance law issue.  Assuming the article is accurate, it sounds fucked up and should be corrected.  But it's not a "that poor black farmer" issue, it's a "that farmer is getting fucked" issue.
