In an exclusive interview in Harare this week Laurie said: "John Brown suffered a heart attack but is now out of danger.
"He has been very unwell of late and had stopped commercial farming activities just like most of us."
Brown was at the helm of Zimbabwe's most influential and wealthy farmers organisations during the 1990s before the controversial land resettlement programme was begun by President Robert Mugabe and his former ruling party, Zanu PF.
Under the Land Resettlement Programme black Zimbabweans took over white commercial farms saying they were too large and being under utilised.
However, the CFU and its members said they were using the farms and producing not only for the nation but for the international market too.
Brown stood alongside such CFU greats as Laurie, Allan Burl, and a former Minister of the Public Service, Chris Anderson, who was also a commercial farmer in Zimbabwe.
The CFU membership in Zimbabwe has dwindled since the 1980 when the nation was taken over by President Mugabe and Zanu PF on April 18.
