Six-year-old Kendall Rae Johnson first learned about farming in her great-grandmother’s garden. She was also the one who instilled the love of greenery in her. When her great-grandmother passed, little Kendall and her family continued the legacy by building a garden in her honor.Since then, Kendall grew more adept at farming. In her backyard farm, she grows sweet potatoes, collard greens, cabbages, broccoli, apples, pears, strawberries, tomatoes, and blueberries. In June, her mother Ursula Johnson registered with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Kendall’s behalf, making her <a href="https://www.thelily.com/shes-a-registered-farmer-and-shes-only-6-years-old/">one of the youngest such registered farmers</a>. That designation allows her to apply for loans and take part in conservation programs.The distinction is also special because farming is a traditionally white and male dominated field. As of 2017, Black women made up only 29 percent of Black agricultural producers overall. As a young black girl, Kendall’s achievement definitely cultivates hope for the future.Image: @agrowkulture/IG #farmer #farming #agriculture #RegisteredFarmer
