Farming's come a long way since the mule and plow—and in this episode, Damian Mason is joined by XtremeAg’s Kevin Matthews, Chad Henderson, and Matt Miles for a lively, laugh-filled chat about the tools and tech that truly changed the game. From section control on planters to AI-powered crop scouts, from cotton pickers to battery impacts, these farmers break down what made their jobs easier, more profitable, and a lot less back-breaking.
They reflect on everything from bale forks to the John Deere Operations Center, share a few roasts about who's still doing the "real" work, and marvel at how smartphones and AI are becoming essential to modern ag. Plus, you’ll hear some eye-opening insights on droplets-per-plant spraying, genetic advancements, and how today’s machinery beats the pants off that old 806 in your granddad's shed.
Whether you're still rocking your flip phone or flying drones over fields, this one’s for you.
