The BusinessZone with Crystal and Gilbert

In today's episode, we unpack the growing labor crisis in America’s heartland, spotlighting Midwest farmers desperate for workers—yes, including those viral Nebraska clips. But there's a deeper undercurrent: the compounded fear Black farmers face amid generations of discrimination, land theft, and institutional neglect. With economic sabotage and retaliation looming, silence becomes a matter of survival.

We confront tough questions: we will explore why Black Americans are often anticipated to fill migrant labor gaps? What does dignity in labor really mean—and who gets to choose it?

And finally, we explore bold solutions: investing in Black ag cooperatives, reimagining immigration reform, protecting workers, and harnessing tech to reshape farming’s future.

Don’t miss this urgent, nuanced conversation at the intersection of race, labor, and possibility.
