19:47 what a great speech topic for FFA! It is a little more political than most speeches seen in the FFA forum. Moreover, I really enjoyed how at the beginning of the speech it sounded as if he was going to present a trite and over down topic: the shrinking amount of farmers. Yet instead, the speaker introduces his topic for the speech: how a flat tax can improve the economic conditions for farmers.

12:28 This answer shows that she is really well-versed in the research around stem cells. However, she doesn’t answer the judges question about how to explain to the public the difference between embryonic stem cells and animal stem cells. Her round about response would go over the heads of every day Americans.

4:17 really contrived hand gestures. Also, the intro was slightly confusing.

Bro I got a speech for you rn. Did you know that Monsanto uses lizard eggs to grow their products. They don't even use actual water. I read online that they grow it with hydrochloric acid to maintain the wheat's meaty taste whatever that means lol. Anyways nice speeches I can really see the preparation that went into each of them.
