"Thank a farmer"? Sure. But does ag sometimes lean a little too hard into the humble hero narrative? In this refreshingly honest and often hilarious episode, Damian Mason sits down with Chad Henderson, Temple Rhodes, and Kelly Garrett to dig deep into the concept of the "farmer hero complex." From the rise of ag’s cool factor (Red Wing boots and Carhartt chic, anyone?) to how technology has reshaped both perception and reality, these guys get real about pride, pressure, and purpose in production ag.
They talk candidly about what makes them proud (staying in business, working with family), what’s overdone (“God made a farmer”—again?), and what they hope the next generation values as they step into a world where ag is both spotlighted and scrutinized. With just enough sarcasm and plenty of heart, this one’s for anyone who's ever questioned where the line is between pride and puffery.
