Are agricultural universities still leading the way—or falling behind modern farming?
In this episode of The Granary, Damian Mason sits down with Kelly Garrett, Todd Kimbrell, and special guest Tommy Roach from Nachurs to tackle a bold question: Do ag schools still matter in today’s AI-driven, data-heavy production agriculture?
From outdated fertility recommendations and slow-moving research to the growing role of private trials and farm-level analytics, the group debates whether universities are keeping up with progressive growers. They also explore the value of ag economics data, extension programs, and whether the next generation truly needs an ag degree to succeed.
Is it time for ag universities to refocus, modernize, and get more in tune with real-world farming—or are they still providing critical foundational value?
Pull up a chair. This conversation challenges tradition and asks where ag education goes next.
This episode is presented by Nachurs.
