Best interview I’ve seen Cory take part in. 😊

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Then there should be funding available for these Texas cattle farmers to repair and further develop out there farming operation.....

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

So I personally am interested in 50 acres and my mule out near prairie view am in Bryan college station Texas....so for me and my son...it's been difficult to obtain funding

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

So after these farmers hav bought the equipment...hired the outsourced organized farm help... received the farming regulators who would stop in every 6 months to moniters the farms activities....then offer funding to repair equipment....

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

I didn't hear anyone say Cajun food man

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

So then "American" should would and could outsource the daily operations of farming facilities

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Right back to the Ben taub general hospital and the northwest memorial hospital where the generational diabetic needs of America r concerned.... diabetes and socio-economically disadvantaged obesity r all concerned....

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Yes but here in Texas ...which is where I live....cows pigs and goats aren't "friends" cows belong in a barn or in a pasture and not in the back or front yard....chickens and roosters aren't friends or babies...they r food...

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Weeeelllllll "mom and pop" farmer in Texas "should be" regulated..... reguardless of where how or why they choose to live on a personal farm....larger farming operations r already regulated....but the actual daily functioning should be monitored and regulated by an outside agency....2 yearly

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Oops... add "and" between concerned.... diabetes.....

[@CHarry-gy7rg]

Well first of all American is a begger....then a chauvinist...then a thief....so no most of us won't ever have enough paycheck to support our American needs
