Are farm organizations and commodity groups actually helping farmers—or just helping themselves? Damian Mason pulls up a chair with Kelly Garrett, Temple Rhodes, and special guest Gavin Spoor to hash it out. From checkoff dollars to lobbying (or should we say "promotion"?), this episode gets into the nitty-gritty of whether those pennies per bushel are paying off. The guys weigh in on what these groups get right (hello, “Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner”) and where they’re missing the mark (reactive much?). Gavin, as the new blood at the table, offers a fresh take on the value of behind-the-scenes work and the future of niche farming support. You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you might just question where your dollars are going. Pull up a chair and dig into this honest, unscripted chat with real farmers about real issues.
