In this eye-opening and often hilarious episode of The Granary, host Damian Mason sits down with Johnny Verell, Chad Henderson, and Stephanie Zelinko to talk smart spend vs. dumb spend in farming. With margins tighter and costs higher than ever, the crew breaks down the real ROI of everything from shiny new tractors to questionable fertility decisions. Ever waited on corn to go up 2 cents and watched it drop 40? Yeah... you're not alone.
From emotional spending on race cars and golf clubs to the cold, hard math of soil testing and fertilizer strategy, this episode tackles how to budget like a boss in 2025's tough ag economy. Stephanie brings the agronomic insights, Johnny and Chad bring the honesty (and a few jabs), and everyone agrees: spending smarter starts with knowing your numbers.
If you're looking to cut waste, make better decisions, and maybe feel a little less guilty about your truck payment—this one's for you.
