Do today’s farmers really have more control than they did a generation ago? Host Damian Mason sits down with dairyman Johan De Groot and XtremeAg’s Kelly Garrett to unpack what "power" on the farm actually looks like. From owning the supply chain and diversifying into retail and trucking, to navigating employee culture and vendor leverage, these two share how they've built systems to gain self-sufficiency—and what still lies outside their control.
Whether you run a few hundred acres or a multi-enterprise operation, this conversation reveals how education, relationships, and intentional decisions drive control in ag today. Big laughs, honest lessons, and smart insights await at The Granary.
