Can supply chain disruptions actually make farmers more profitable? It sounds backward — but rising fertilizer prices, expensive diesel, and tighter margins may be forcing agriculture to become smarter and more efficient.

In this episode of The Granary, Damian Mason sits down with Kelly Garrett, Matt Miles, and Tommy Roach to discuss how ongoing supply chain shocks are changing the economics of farming. From skyrocketing nitrogen and phosphate prices to fuel surcharges affecting every input on the farm, the conversation focuses on one big idea: efficiency matters more than ever.

The group dives into precision fertility, liquid versus dry nutrients, reducing unnecessary field passes, and reallocating dollars toward practices that actually improve ROI. They also share real-world examples of cutting nitrogen use, improving nutrient timing, and adapting operations to survive volatile markets.

This episode is a practical, honest look at how today’s agricultural challenges could reshape profitability — and why some farmers may come out stronger because of it.
