I have never needed a Professional Ball Player, or a Hollywood Movie Star but I have needed a farmer everyday of my life

[@monoshock57]

America through and through. People like him make this country great.

[@rawbacon]

Humble man but his emotions show that he does understand how important his contributions are.

[@anewman1]

And without a degree. Imagine that. This is where innovation really comes from 🙂

[@pedintx]

Great story about unsung heroes. Thanks again for all you do.

[@dessertman1181]

Buzz is a lot more important to America than Bruce Springsteen will ever be

[@vgarza1972]

I worked in the Deere dealership for 23yrs and seen lots of improvements that have just amazed me and these gentlemen are humbling God bless them.

[@billroberts4910]

What a great story. I had no idea. John Deere owes those gentlemen so much.

[@mauimom1246]

What an interesting man. God bless Buzz.

[@lauranyc4966]

Our beautiful country got it all !!!!!! Why on earth we buy anything from China 😒 !!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

[@TioDave]

People like Buz are a certain type of person. They can understand the concepts of engineering through seeing it in action. We should be exposing kid to the mechanical world. I remember when my city started removing the shop classes from schools. They thought everyone should go to college.

[@kerryevans7413]

What a great man and inventor. And a humble Person. Great story.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

If your goal with this channel is to highlight good people, no need looking anywhere else. Texas is the jackpot.

[@joeguzman3558]

Today nobody wants to work picking cutton , it's easy to say that machine replace workers but if there was an ad asking for cutton pickiers no one would show up , thank God for this Man .

[@discoveryman59]

What a MAN!! Thank You Mr.Vardeman.

[@johnkelsey2482]

[@meadowalumni8900]

[@glloyd711]

Thank God for the farmers!

[@gascantx]

Great story and just goes to support that necessity is the mother of all invention. :-)

[@joeguzman3558]

My grandpa and grandma picked cutton in the 40s 50s 60s including me ,there were all race white black Hispanic and acians working .

[@kevinashby3784]

Outstanding documentary. Thanks for Sharing.

[@stymieslc8484]

One of the best stories you have done yet! Of course that's just my opinion!

[@Donato93]

God has blessed Texas and it’s people . I live in Australia and Texas is a powerhouse.

[@redsammy7789]

I live in Texas and that is I nice thing to say, thanks, I hope to make it to Australia one day.

[@joeestes8114]

I would love to know as much as that man forgot! 100% American made through and through!

[@BrittneeDrummer]

Truly an American hero. Thank you and your family sir 🇺🇸. My first job was when I was 12. John Deere in denton Tx. Swept, mopped, stocked the coke machine, assembled small mowers. Was about 1988.

[@billievardiman9112]

Bill Vardiman's Dad, Johnny Vardiman was this same type of man; could take just about anything and make something else out of it that he needed to do his farming with. An eighth grade education and so smart. Farmed for years in Marshall, MO Signed: Bill's wife, Billie

[@efhs1970]

Awesome interview!💫

[@garymorris5974]

Cotton ant new to me.Sure did like the big red soda and peanuts when we went home

[@janicefolks645]

Thank you for introducing this fabulous family

[@956exterminator8]

Awesome Great job Sr.

[@kellyferrell6973]

Great story!!!

[@dylanpeterson3490]

Hopefully they have been fairly compensated. The difference one of these machines make on one farm in a year is fairly sizable, let alone however many units Deere sells in that year. But, I'm sure Buz would've been content with them just funding materials and tools to develop them!

[@hngrylkawolf]

What happens to cast life below zero

[@henrymorris8338]

L.G. Morris and Sam Morris Baskin, Louisiana cotton farmer's. They are deceased now but they were alot like Buzz.

[@bluegrassfan23]

What a story!

[@rickyrangel1219]

Where do you gin you’re cotton,and how can I get a hold of them

[@shaneedmonds80]

Good stuff!

[@christopherwaters95]

[@jtop2038]

How many thousands of folks were put out of work?

[@vgarza1972]

Well in all the years I worked with the farming community u have to understand those people don't exist much anymore and it takes bigger equipment to farm more acres it's just the cost of progress to be honest now the big cost is how Deere now manages its dealerships by creating mega dealerships that put people like me with all my experience out of job cuz I didn't fit their image that's the real crime!!

[@markrobason1610]

Given that from 1950 till today fewer and fewer people want to put in the long days and hard work associated with farming these men are jewel . I doubt they put anyone out of a job. More likely they kept small and large farmers on the land, when field workers disappeared due to social and political reasons, and more than one John Deere factory worker got or kept their job building the inventions they came up with.

[@jtop2038]

I am so happy that all you adapted like true Americans

[@jtop2038]

BTW, I knew Mr.Buz years ago and that was a joke that he would make followed with "Those are the kind of jobs we need to eliminate, so the folks will find better ones". I agree with him and did not think about the comment being so public and was hoping to maybe get a response from Mr.Buz. Which is how I believe he would have responded.

[@Bass.Player]

@Resell Hobo Bingo!
