I wanted to hear what the farmer had to say considering farmland is in danger of being locked up by powers that want to Reset the world. Please get the farmer back and allow him to speak. Thank you for the showing the amount of land Gates owns across the USA.

Georgia farmer is the proletariat, we should constantly be listening to our farmers, shippers and manufacturers.

I think the answer to his questions are complicated and the farmer is trying to get there but obviously this is not the conversation for a 1min Clip.

Why is Varney sounding like he's for this corrupt billionaire Gates 😐 my goodness give our poor farmers a break!!

This made me laugh. City folk. Being the daughter, granddaughter of southern farmers, as soon as this man started talking I knew what was coming. This good man, I believe, has a very important and probably urgent point to make. He appears very knowledgeable and the information he wants to share is, no doubt in my mind, information Americans need to hear. HOWEVER, it would be impossible for him to say it in the 3 minute time allotted. Southerners, especially southern farmers and ranchers, have a rhythm to their speech. It gives the listener time to hear and digest what is being said. Information is passed on in parcels. When there is a subject with different components, or possible different outcomes, there is a pause before each is discussed. The speaker hasn't stopped talking, there is a pause that actually does help the listener absorb the information because each part of the subject, of the whole, has it's own place. Confusion is avoided because the large amount of information being conferred doesn't run together, isn't mixed up. Each component of the main subject becomes its own little subject.

I could've simpley said that a southern farmer says nothing fast. I think it's actually state law that if the farmer farms south of the Mason Dickson then said farmer shall not use any form of rapid speech.

Yes, I could've, but then again, I did say I was a southern farmer's daughter and a southern farmer's granddaughter. Such brevity of speech might be against the law.

We should be concerned that he owns this property.

The interviewer was rude to the farmer who is far and above more versed on the topic. He should not have had him on if he didn't have time to listen to the responses of the questions.

We all know bill hasn’t worked a day on a farm in his life.

That's the problem with these corporate owned news media sources. They don't allow any time for an individual being interviewed to tell the whole story. This is why many former journalists are into podcasts today. Joe Rogan is not a self proclaimed journalist but he's doing more for his listeners than any MSM company is doing.

Farming is a multi generation tradition which respects nature. Computers and robots cannot replace it

[danielwoldu]

Georgian farmers are right because it will vanish fertility of the land, technology can't replace human in farming

[annedonnellan]

Fox reporter. Show respect to the gentleman

[jawadkazmi]

So happy that Joe Rogan invited him to his podcast, It was such an eye opener.
Will Harris has a wealth of knowledge on the topic and is beyond highly educated. Has command over subject matter and language that none in this industry have.

[pmkeith]

So much for anti-monopoly legislation in the USA. It isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

[dovakein]

If your high speed news cycle only allows for a 60 second answer, don't ask a question that has a 6 minute answer. The point he was trying to make was that industrial sized commercial farming has destroyed the land wherever it has been implemented. Most people down south only speak when we have something important to say, so we speak slowly as to be understood. The rest of the country hears quickly, but listens to very little.

[kaycoats]

I would like to hear more what Will Harris has to say & other farmers & people who are being Exploited. What can we do about this??

[dublinphotoart]

We live in an age of 24/7 media ... yet they are always "running out of time" what a cop out

[blueteam]

When Cornel Sanders says you don’t know how to use land …. You listen …..

[ericbrendel]

We need to find out what Gates is up to. Remember Hunger Games? Something fishy going on!!

For God's sake, let the man talk.
