I appreciate the fact that this video is narrated by a real farmer. He sounds much more natural and relatable than the voiceover artist from the first two videos.

One of my neighbors was out at his field one day, and I stopped to say hello he was very proud of his acreage. I looked at it and nearly cried. It was solid clay, totally dead, and it had been tilled while wet, so it was nothing but fist size clods. Just about as fertile as the moon. He saw the look on my face, and he said "That there's good soil. Just put enough fertilizer on it, it will grow anything." I answered "The same could be said of water." He got furious, and has not spoken to me since.
