National Black Farmers Association
The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) is a non-profit organization representing African American farmers and their families in the United States. As an association, it serves tens of thousands of members nationwide. NBFA's education and advocacy efforts have been focused on civil rights, land retention, access to public and private loans, education and agricultural training, and rural economic development for black and other small farmers.
== Founding ==
The organization was founded in 1995 by John W. Boyd, Jr. a fourth-generation black farmer from Baskerville, Virginia near the town of South Hill, Virginia.〔(Unofficial Biography of John W. Boyd, Jr. )〕 Boyd continues to serve as the group's president. Boyd's work for the NBFA has been chronicled by national media organizations including a Person of the Week profile on ABC World News Tonight,〔("Person of the Week: John Boyd" ABC World News Tonight (2003) )〕 The Washington Post,〔("A Quest to be Heard", The Washington Post (2009) )〕 and Roll Call newspaper which is influential on Capitol Hill.〔("Sowing Seeds of Victory; John Boyd Jr. Gets Farm Bill Appropriation", Roll Call (2008) )〕
Since its inception, NBFA has been a national voice on the issue of farm subsidies, arguing that black farmers are left out of the massive system of subsidies provided by the government. A 2007 report by Environmental Working Group found a widening gap between subsidies provided to white farmers and those provided to black farmers.〔http://www.ewg.org/node/22172〕
