Calls for American agriculture to diversify sound great—but what exactly are farmers supposed to grow instead?
Damian Mason sits down with Kelly Garrett, Adam Ullrich, and Galynn Beer (Tidal Grow) to dig into the economics and realities of moving acres away from corn and soybeans. From wheat, oats, rye, and sorghum to sweet corn and even a little talk about flax and buffalo, the group explores where diversification might actually pencil out.
But growing another crop is only half the battle. Farmers still need buyers, storage, transportation, infrastructure, and enough demand to keep a promising alternative from becoming the next oversupplied commodity.
The conversation also tackles marginal farmland, government support, regional advantages, water limitations, logistics, and why the smartest diversification strategy might look completely different from one farm to the next.
So, can American agriculture really diversify—or are corn and soybeans simply too deeply rooted in the system?
