There’s more ag information than ever—field days, social feeds, new biologicals, stacked traits, premium fungicides, and “game-changing” technology. But when margins tighten, all that noise can get expensive fast.
In this episode of The Granary, Damian Mason sits down with Kelly Garrett and Clint Frese to talk about cutting through the clutter and making smarter decisions for next season. What inputs actually drive ROI—and what’s just marketing momentum?
They dig into trimming dry fertility, dialing back nitrogen, questioning high-priced fungicides, reconsidering conventional seed, and being cautious with biostimulants that promise everything. The conversation also hits on seed diversification, machinery investments, and even insurance blind spots that can cost more than any input.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by options and pressured to “try the next big thing,” this episode delivers practical, farmer-tested perspective on simplifying decisions and protecting your bottom line.
