Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Friday hosted a webinar featuring former Agriculture Secretary and Democratic Senate candidate Mike Espy, with panelists from the National Black Growers Council, 100 Ranchers and others who discussed historical barriers farmers of color face in the industry.
