I agree with Won's assessment that there are no provocative questions. To do that, you might take one of his answers, and in your follow up question, ask him to comment on the logic of the side that's different from his.
Instead of agriculture, try using the word "agribusiness" from time to time. This covers everything from the farmer all the way to the supermarket.
