More food crops are being diverted to the production of bio fuels. All told, U.S. farmland prices have increased more than 17 percent a year over the last decade of economic uncertainty. On this "Full Disclosure," Roben Farzad talks with a farmer, a tractor-loving investor and a grocery buyer.

Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad: Fat of the Land

August 06, 2014 21:07 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Don't look now, but U.S. farmland has soared in value over the last twenty years. You can thank higher food prices by way of the voracious demand for grains and proteins from emerging markets -- as well as competition for crops from biofuels in an era of higher energy prices. Lately, investors have been piling into farmland (up more than 17% a year over the last ten years) as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement. Is this trend here to stay? Or are "nouveau-ags" swelling yet anoth...

Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad: Tusked Off!

June 17, 2014 21:17 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was supposed to cake-walk his way through a joke primary against a little-known and vastly underfunded college professor; no one down here much took the election seriously. Instead, the Richmond Tea Party somehow ousted the powerful Republican, proving that its wing of the party would have to be reckoned with this election year and, more importantly, in the 2016 Presidential race. What's the Tea Party's beef with today's GOP? Immigration? The IRS? Two Richmon...
