Politics and Farming, Black and White

Is it possible that the farming issue, and that of Black farmers in particular, will influence the presidential debates and outcome over the next few months?

Already, Obama has thrown down the gauntlet.

And, Hillary has drawn her line in the sand, at least in terms of getting the farm bill passed.

Who on the Republican side is willing to do the same, not just for the farm bill but for African American farmers besides Chabot from Ohio?

Just wondering.
