I like that this episode was more engaged than normal. He showed us how driving a tractor works, the computer systems they us, etc.

This man just did America a massive favor by educating this many people this eloquently

The casting team for this channel deserve a raise, you find the most interesting people

They nailed this episode I love how it doesn’t perpetuate the stereotype of farmers being uneducated. This man is an absolute PROFESSIONAL.

0:40 When he said "I tell you what" i trusted him as a reliable source more than I would an encyclopedia

I think y'all found the perfect person to do a segment like this. He's a really clear presenter and super easy to listen to.

I love how this shows how much science goes into modern farming. Farming is as technologically advanced as any industry.

Listening to a farmer with such a strong southern accent and sophisticated vocabulary is such a refreshing experience.

As a regenerative, largely no till farmer, I went into this video expecting there to be many half truths. Let me tell you the smile I had on my face at the end of this video knowing that this man got everything exactly right. This farmer is a gem of knowledge and professional, and spoke the truth succinctly. Well done. Huge kudos to him and his family and employees

I think society GROSSLY MISUNDERSTANDS the level of knowledge, and of a broad range of subjects that it takes to be a farmer, because this fine gentleman was absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing all this knowlegde Mr Griggs! You have my repect, and I wish you a bountiful harvest this year! ❤

Thank you, Farmer Griggs. You may not know how appreciated you and other farmers are by so many of us. Stay safe and good luck.

Matt is a true expert. As a farmer, he's outstanding in his field.

I'm much happier to subsidize farmers than oil companies

This video improved instantly by 1000% when he said let me show you. OMG THIS GUY IS SO COOL

I clicked this video out of curiosity. I'm leaving it with a thousand percent more respect for farmers as a whole. There needs to be more videos like these.

Huge respect to farmers. Working long, hard hours all year only to sometimes lose money is next level grit. The next time I’m thinking of whinging about my desk job, I’ll take a moment.

Hey, Wired, bring on a produce farmer next - someone who works with fruits and vegetables and also, perhaps on another video someone who works with dairy and meat.

1:20 I almost believed the guest got up and drove a tractor in the middle of the interview. 5 stars.

My dad got his PhD. In agriculture, focusing on soil fertility and talking about nitrogen uptake and soil health around mostly maize (corn) and soybeans because they rotate those crops in Nebraska. I had to help him spell check things when he published his findings because English is not his first language, so I read some of the things and understood about 10% of it.

This is by far the most fascinating Q&A Wired has ever produced.
