What’s the biggest farming mistake you’ve ever made? In this episode of The Granary, Damian Mason pulls up a chair with Dirt Poor star and Missouri farmer Gavin Spoor, along with Galynn Beer of AgroLiquid, and Kelly Garrett of XtremeAg to dig into just that. From the “moron method” to dry fertilizer flops during drought years, the guys open up about their most expensive learning curves—and how those so-called mistakes became the best teachers.
They tackle the fine line between experimenting and overspending, how following the “book” can backfire, and why trusting your soil (and your gut) might be smarter than hitting the “easy” button. It's an episode full of good-natured ribbing, surprising lessons, and real talk about profitability, pride, and progress. Whether you're planting your first crop or your fiftieth, this conversation is pure gold.
Thanks to the good people at AgroLiquid for making this episode possible.
