Boers aren't the only farmers in South Africa. Plenty of black South Africans farm too—land reform policies have pushed more into agriculture since the 2000s. But Boers, mostly Afrikaners of Dutch descent, have a deep history of commercial farming, often on larger scales, dating back to the 17th century. Capital and access to resources still give them an edge, though. Check the diversity in Waterberg District farms—ruminants, horticulture, and monogastrics are big across all groups.
