Jamie Mackay catches up with the peripatetic Pita Alexander, who's done 30,000km driving around the United States.

They discuss the situation in Houston, and Americans' ability to recover from these disasters.

Alexander talks about the state of agriculture in Trump's America.

The locals he spoke to on his travels were fairly divided on the president.

After four years of low profitability many farmers were hoping for someone, anyone, to improve their position.
